Tide FAQ
How many tide stations are there in North Carolina?
NOAA publishes tide predictions for 65 places in North Carolina. Each one has its own page with today's tides and a 7 day table.
Which station should I use?
Pick the station closest to your beach and on the same side of any inlet or bay. Tides inside bays can lag the open coast by an hour or more.
