About the tides at Fort Caswell

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Oak Island, Cape Fear Riv, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Wilmington, Cape Fear River. The average range is about 4.4 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is larger than most North Carolina stations on this site. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 5.6 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −1.5 ft on January 23.

Fort Caswell is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Wilmington, Cape Fear River: highs come about 122 min and lows about 165 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is Southport, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 24 min later. For tidal currents, see Fort Caswell.

Predictions are based on Wilmington, Cape Fear River.
