About the tides at Shinn Point

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.7 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. On a typical day the water moves about 3.8 ft between high and low. That is larger than most North Carolina stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 4.8 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 4.3 ft, on October 13.

Predictions for Shinn Point come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. The nearest other station is Wrightsville Beach, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 33 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Wilmington, USS North Carolina.
