About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Rudee Heights, Lake Wesley from the DUCK PIER station: high tides about 1.03× the height, 18 min later; low tides about the same height, 16 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.
