About the tides at Varnamtown

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.9 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. On a typical day the water moves about 3.8 ft between high and low. That is larger than most North Carolina stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 4.3 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 4.4 ft, comes on November 21, and the smallest, 3.0 ft, on November 17. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 5.4 ft on October 27 and bottom out at −0.8 ft on January 22.

Predictions for Varnamtown 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 2022 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Oak Island, 8 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 6 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Oak Island Bridge, Icw.
