Where Engelhard is
Engelhard sits at 35.5094° N, 75.9889° W on North Carolina's sounds and Outer Banks, at Engelhard, NC. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 2021 until 2022, and NOAA still publishes harmonic predictions from that record. There is no live reading here today. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Hatteras (ocean) (NOAA 8654467), 26.3 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 110 min later than there. The nearest weather station is Hyde County Airport, an airport reporting wind, visibility and sky cover, but no water temperature, 4.1 mi away.
The tide at Engelhard
Engelhard has a mixed tide: two highs and two lows a day, but of unequal size, so one low each day drains a little lower than the other. This month's predictions average 1.9 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 0.6 ft, and 0.4 ft between the average high and the average low, a small tide. For the water around it: Ocean-side tides here are semidiurnal with two highs a day of 3 to 4 ft, while the sounds behind the banks are mostly wind driven with a lunar tide of a foot or less.
Datum and source
Heights on this page are feet above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero NOAA's nautical charts use for soundings. A predicted 0.0 ft low is the average of the lower low each day; a minus tide is water below chart datum, and a 2 ft high means 2 ft more water than the chart shows. NOAA fixes MLLW at Engelhard from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 0.6 ft above it and mean sea level 0.3 ft. The land survey datum NAVD88, the zero on topographic maps and flood maps, is 0.7 ft above MLLW here, so a water level on this page converts to NAVD88 by subtracting that amount. These datums are controlled from NOAA's USCG Station Hatteras, NC gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8653471, established 2021, gauge removed 2022. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
