About the tides at Roanoke Sound Channel

This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The pattern follows the reference station at Oregon Inlet Marina, Pamlico Sound. The mean range is small, about 0.5 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most North Carolina stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 0.7 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 0.4 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 0.7 ft on September 29, and the lowest is 0.0 ft on January 22.

Roanoke Sound Channel is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Oregon Inlet Marina, Pamlico Sound: highs come about 97 min and lows about 77 min later than there. The nearest other station is Old House Channel, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 10 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Herbert C. Bonner Bridge, Wsw of.

Predictions are based on Oregon Inlet Marina, Pamlico Sound.
