About tides at Duck
Duck, NC sits in the Outer Banks, NC region. Its tide predictions come from the Duck Pier station (NOAA 8651370), a harmonic NOAA reference station, so predictions come straight from its own published constituents. This spot is an open-ocean beach, so the tide here is the surf-side tide — the one that matters for swimming, surfing, shelling, and how much dry sand you get. Tides here swing between about 0.0 ft and 4.7 ft (MLLW) over the next 30 days. The chart above is live, and the 30-day tide forecast below lists every high and low with heights, plus sunrise, sunset, and the moon — everything you need to time a beach day, a surf session, or a low-tide walk.
