About the tides at Roanoke Marshes Light

Roanoke Marshes Light has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. Water here rises and falls only about 0.4 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most North Carolina stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 0.3 ft, comes on Wednesday, and the smallest, 0.3 ft, on October 20. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 0.7 ft on September 30 and bottom out at −0.1 ft on January 23.

Predictions for Roanoke Marshes Light come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here in 2002 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Oyster Creek, 3 mi away. For tidal currents, see Herbert C. Bonner Bridge, Wsw of.
