About the tides at Rodanthe

Rodanthe has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The mean range is small, about 0.6 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most North Carolina stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 0.8 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 1.0 ft on September 1, and the lowest is −0.1 ft on January 22.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. It was established in 1977. The nearest other station is Davis Slough, 12 mi away, where high tide comes about 2 h 31 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Coast Guard Tower, southwest of.
