About tides at Kill Devil Hills
Kill Devil Hills, NC sits in the Outer Banks, NC region. Its tide predictions come from the Kitty Hawk station (NOAA 8651605), a NOAA subordinate station, so highs and lows are offset from a nearby reference gauge. This spot is an open-ocean beach, so the tide here is the surf-side tide — the one that matters for swimming, surfing, shelling, and how much dry sand you get. Tides here swing between about 0.0 ft and 4.8 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.
