About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Orton Point from the Wilmington station: high tides about the same height, 36 min earlier; low tides about the same height, 58 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.
