Duck, NC Tides And NOAA Station 8651370
Use NOAA CO-OPS station 8651370 as the Duck tide-table reference. Read each predicted time with its height and datum, keep tide and tidal-current products distinct, and verify the exact ocean-side or sound-side water, access, and current conditions before leaving.
- Official station reference
- NOAA CO-OPS station 8651370 at Duck, North Carolina.
- What the table provides
- Predicted high and low times and heights for the selected date, time zone, and vertical datum.
- Available station context
- NOAA publishes station metadata, water-level products, meteorological observations, and datums for station 8651370.
- What to verify separately
- Tidal-current timing, the exact water you will fish, active marine forecasts, access, and local conditions.
- Safety boundary
- A prediction table does not replace active warnings, observations, closure notices, or an on-site access check.
- Next measurement

Start With NOAA Duck Station 8651370
NOAA CO-OPS identifies station 8651370 at Duck and publishes station metadata, predictions, observations, meteorological data, and datums for that location. Confirm the station identifier, date, time zone, and datum before comparing a Duck tide table with another source.
For the fishing application of that station reference, open Duck fishing conditions and bite windows.
Read Each Predicted Time With Its Height And Datum
NOAA tide tables list predicted high and low times and heights for a selected station and day. The time identifies the predicted event, while the height is referenced to the selected vertical datum. Keep those settings attached to any value you save or compare so a number from one datum is not mistaken for the same water level in another.
Keep The Station Reference Attached To The Exact Water
Station 8651370 is located at Duck, but one station reference should not be treated as an exact minute-by-minute answer for every ocean-side beach, inlet, sound-side access, or nearby water. Use the station as the named Duck reference, then verify the appropriate official prediction and local access information for the exact place you plan to fish.
Do Not Substitute Tide Height For Tidal Current
Tides describe the rise and fall of water level. Tidal currents describe horizontal water movement, and the timing of slack or strongest flow does not necessarily match a listed high or low. Use the correct NOAA prediction product when current direction or speed matters to navigation, access, or fishing structure.
Separate Predictions From Live Conditions
A tide table is a prediction product. Wind, waves, atmospheric pressure, active marine hazards, and local access conditions can change the practical trip decision. Use the table to plan, then check current observations and forecasts close to departure. If a warning, closure, or unsafe access condition conflicts with the selected window, the safety signal wins.
Turn The Duck Table Into A Saved-Spot Window
Start with the next predicted change at station 8651370, then compare it with daylight, wind, marine conditions, safe access, and the precise water saved in TideCue. That keeps the official station reference visible without turning a predicted event into a catch guarantee or an exact claim for every nearby shoreline.
Use TideCue's guide to how to read tide chart signals before setting the final trip window.
Common questions
Which NOAA tide station does TideCue use for Duck, North Carolina?
This page uses NOAA CO-OPS station 8651370 at Duck as its official tide-table reference.
What does the Duck tide table show?
It shows predicted high and low times and heights for station 8651370 for the selected date, time zone, and datum.
Does station 8651370 give the exact tide for every Duck fishing spot?
No. Use it as the named Duck reference, then verify the appropriate official prediction and local conditions for the exact ocean-side, inlet, or sound-side water you will visit.
Is high or low tide the same as slack current?
Not necessarily. Tide height and tidal current are different measurements, and slack-current timing can differ from a predicted high or low.
Why can the observed water level differ from the tide prediction?
Predictions describe astronomical tides at the station. Wind, atmospheric pressure, waves, and other conditions can contribute to differences in observed water levels and access conditions.
What should I recheck before fishing in Duck?
Recheck the station, date, time zone, datum, active marine forecast or warning, access status, and conditions at the exact saved water.
