Tides in Ocracoke Inlet
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 2:57 am -0.1 ft
- ▲ High tide 9:30 am 2.8 ft · coef. 88
- ▼ Low tide 4:03 pm 0.1 ft
- ▲ High tide 9:48 pm 1.9 ft · coef. 86
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 5 h 36 min to low tide at 3:46 am.
Tide coefficient 88 for the 9:30 am high tide and 86 for the 9:48 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 2.9 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: an average range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on November 25 (2.8 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-0.6 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
Heights above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero of US nautical charts. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. MLLW
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 28 (coefficient 90, 2.9 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 40, 1.1 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Ocracoke Inlet station (NOAA), 0.4 mi from Ocracoke Inlet. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Cape Hatteras Fishing Pier reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Ocracoke Inlet
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.7 ft
- Significant5.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest11 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 11 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 11 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 5.4 ft with a period of 6 s, from the east (moderate).

Surf in Ocracoke Inlet today
Surf today
Fair- 2.8–4.3 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 3.8 ft swell at 6 s from the east-southeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Moderate offshore wind (17 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 4:03 pm)
Rip current risk tomorrow: high (NWS)
Stay out of the water: rip currents can pull even strong swimmers out to sea. If one catches you, don't swim against it: swim parallel to the shore and wave for help.
Surf height from the NWS, tomorrow: 2.0–4.0 ft
- Light: First light 6:56 am · sunrise 7:22 am · sunset 6:14 pm · last light 6:40 pm
- Tide: low 2:57 am (-0.1 ft), high 9:30 am (2.8 ft), low 4:03 pm (0.1 ft) and high 9:48 pm (1.9 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 64.6 °F: a 3/2 fullsuit.
- Energy: 105 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm, has a good size and light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 4:00 pm to 6:40 pm can also work, with a good size and light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell.
An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.
Diving in Ocracoke Inlet today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- Some tidal current
- 3.6 ft swell at 5 s from the east-southeast: some surge on the bottom
- Moderate offshore wind (16 mph): it pushes surface swimmers away from shore
- 0.4 mph current toward the southwest, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 2:57 am (2:20–3:40 am), high tide 9:30 am (8:50–10:10 am), low tide 4:03 pm (3:20–4:50 pm) and high tide 9:48 pm (9:00–10:40 pm)
- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 3.9 ft at 7 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 64.6 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:40 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 7:59 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:30 am to 12:30 pm, combines weak current and the sun high, though with tidal current, some swell and moderate wind. Also worth a look from 8:30 am to 10:30 am, with slack water at high tide, though with some swell, fresh wind and current. Also worth a look from 3:30 pm to 5:20 pm, with slack water at low tide, though with some swell, fresh wind and current.
Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,429 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:39–3:39 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:11–4:11 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:49–10:49 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:29–8:29 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity
According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.

Water depth

- 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 21 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
- Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 1.6 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
