About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Kitty Hawk (ocean) from the DUCK PIER station: high tides about the same height, 1 min earlier; low tides about 1.43× the height, 2 min later.
Georgia and the Carolinas run the biggest ranges on the Southeast coast — 7 to 10 ft through marsh creeks and barrier-island inlets that rearrange themselves with every storm.
