About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Channel Marker Lt. 59 from the CAPE HATTERAS FISHING PIER station: high tides about 0.66× the height, 85 min later; low tides about 0.83× the height, 87 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.
