About tides at Bald Head Island
Bald Head Island, NC sits in the Cape Fear · Wilmington, NC region. Its tide predictions come from the Bald Head station (NOAA 8658901), a NOAA subordinate station, so highs and lows are offset from a nearby reference gauge. This spot is an inlet station, where tides run strong and boaters and anglers time their day around the current as much as the height. Tides here swing between about -0.1 ft and 5.7 ft (MLLW) over the next 30 days. The chart above is live, and the 30-day tide forecast below lists every high and low with heights, plus sunrise, sunset, and the moon — everything you need to time a beach day, a surf session, or a low-tide walk.
