About the tides at Kings Bay
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.7 ft. The range is large, about 6.4 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 6.9 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 8.1 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −1.4 ft on January 23.
Kings Bay Msf Pier is a NOAA water level station with a live gauge, updated every 6 minutes. Predictions come from the station's own tide records. It also reports air pressure. It was established in 1978. The nearest other station is Seacamp Dock, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 9 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Range E, Lb 43, Cumberland Sound.
