About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Federal Point from the Wilmington station: high tides about 0.94× the height, 77 min earlier; low tides about 0.93× the height, 112 min earlier.
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.
