About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Coral Bay, Atlantic Beach from the CAPE HATTERAS FISHING PIER station: high tides about 0.53× the height, 107 min later; low tides about 0.83× the height, 134 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.
