North Carolina tide times

North Carolina has 65 NOAA tide stations on this site. 6 of them have a live water level gauge. Ranges vary a lot here. Sunset Beach Pier averages about 5.0 ft between high and low, while Manns Harbor averages about 0.3 ft. Most stations here have a mixed tide, so the two daily lows can be quite different. The next king tides at Sunset Beach Pier are due Dec 24 to 25.
