About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Lake Rudee, south end from the DUCK PIER station: high tides about 1.05× the height, 20 min later; low tides about 1.07× the height, 19 min later.
Barrier islands, big bays, and river tides: Chesapeake and Delaware bays carry the tide deep inland, and a nor'easter can hold water in, or blow it out, for days at a time.
