About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Ocean City Beach (fishing pier) from the CAPE HATTERAS FISHING PIER station: high tides about 1.40× the height, 3 min later; low tides about 1.33× the height, 1 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.
