Your day at a glance

The best window, 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm, combines the 4:58 pm low tide, a major period, sunset, falling pressure, a light onshore breeze and some swell. Also good from 2:50 am to 4:40 am, with the 3:48 am low tide, a major period, a light onshore breeze and some swell. Also good from 9:40 pm to 11:40 pm, with the 10:44 pm high tide, falling pressure, a light onshore breeze and some swell.

Species with the most records nearby: mahi-mahi, longfin inshore squid, spot and Atlantic croaker. October is one of the months when these are seen most: spot and Atlantic croaker. What you can catch

Beach day in Oregon Inlet

Beach forecast, 7 days →

Is it a beach day?

Rip current risk today: high · tomorrow: moderate (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.

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 10:18 am 2.9 ft · coef. 83
  • ▼ Low tide 4:58 pm -0.1 ft
  • ▲ High tide 10:44 pm 1.9 ft · coef. 80

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 53 min to low tide at 3:48 am.

Tide coefficient 83 for the 10:18 am high tide and 80 for the 10:44 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 3.0 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large 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 October 28 (2.9 ft) and the lowest, on December 26 (-0.5 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, 3.2 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 43, 1.6 ft).

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.3 ft.

Onshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.

The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has a good size, though with a short-period swell. 3:00 pm to 6:36 pm can also work, with a good size, though with a short-period swell and onshore wind.

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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:50 am to 11:10 am, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 4:20 pm to 6:10 pm, with slack water at low tide and light wind, though with 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 2:41–4:41 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 10:59–11:59 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:28–9:28 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

Drops off fast

The bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 150 ft from shore.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading east.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep80 ft
  • 33 ft deep150 ft
  • 66 ft deep2.5 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 34 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. 33 ft deep 150 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (2.5 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.

Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
