Where Lenoxville Point is
Lenoxville Point sits at 34.7083° N, 76.6200° W on North Carolina's sounds and Outer Banks, at Beaufort, NC, in Carteret County. The station here is a subordinate tide prediction point. NOAA has no gauge in the water at this spot; its times and heights are published as offsets from a reference gauge, named below. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Beaufort, Duke Marine Lab (NOAA 8656483), 2.9 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 44 min later than there. The nearest weather station is Beaufort Smith Field, an airport reporting wind, visibility and sky cover, but no water temperature, 2.7 mi away.
The tide at Lenoxville Point
Lenoxville Point has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows a day of about the same size, roughly 12 hours 25 minutes apart. This month's predictions average 1.9 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 2.7 ft, and 2.4 ft between the average high and the average low, a moderate tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.2 ft and the lower low sits 0.1 ft below the other low. 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.
About this station
- High tide reaches Lenoxville Point about 1.1 hours after the moon passes overhead. That lag is local, which is why high water does not line up with the moon.
- NOAA predicts tides here from Cape Hatteras Fishing Pier, station 8654400. High tide comes about 78 min later and low tide about 71 min later than there.
- High tide heights run about 0.80 times the reference.
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 Lenoxville Point from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 2.7 ft above it and mean sea level 1.3 ft. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Beaufort, Duke Marine Lab, NC gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8656539, established 1978, gauge removed 1996. The tide times and heights are published as time and height offsets from its reference gauge; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
