The tide at Pungo River, Route 45, NC
Pungo River, Route 45, NC 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 0.8 ft, and 0.6 ft between the average high and the average low, a small tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.1 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.
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 Pungo River, Route 45, NC from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 0.8 ft above it and mean sea level 0.4 ft. The land survey datum NAVD88, the zero on topographic maps and flood maps, is 0.5 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 8653244, established 2023. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
