About the tides at Sunset Beach Pier

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.0 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The average range is about 5.0 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is larger than most North Carolina stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 5.5 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 6.6 ft on June 5, and the lowest is −1.2 ft on January 23.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1974 to 2008 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Dunn Sound, Little River Inlet, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 18 min later.
