North Carolina Tide Charts

Find the high and low tides for your spot on the North Carolina coast. Every North Carolina tide-chart page is listed below, grouped by county so you can jump straight to your stretch of coast — 5 NOAA tracking stations plus the beaches and towns that use the nearest one. Each opens a live tide chart with today's high & low tide times, heights and king-tide dates. The rest of NOAA's prediction locations for the state — bays, harbors, inlets and river mouths — are added to the county lists from NOAA's directory as the page loads.

⚠ Warning: NOAA astronomical tide predictions only — not for navigation or safety decisions. For those, check NOAA and the U.S. Coast Guard. Use at your own risk — Terms.
