About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Fort Caswell from the Wilmington station: high tides about 1.03× the height, 122 min earlier; low tides about 1.25× the height, 165 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.
