About the tides at Sunny Point Army Base

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.7 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The average range is about 4.2 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is larger than most North Carolina stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 4.6 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 4.9 ft on October 28, and the lowest is −0.2 ft on January 19.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here in 1976 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Reaves Point, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 7 min later. For tidal currents, see Upper Midnight Channel.
