North Carolina king tides, October and November 2026
King tides are the highest predicted high tides of a period. This page lists the highest predicted high tides and lowest predicted low tides across 76 NOAA stations in North Carolina. Heights are feet above each station's Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW), so stations with a larger tidal range rank higher. Times are local.
