What a local would tell you

Working marina on the New River side, handy if you are staging for the New River Inlet run. Fuel, ramp and a yard — one of the few full stops on this quieter stretch.

The tide today

NOAA has not returned a prediction for station 8657002 right now, so there is no curve to draw. Nothing here is worth guessing at — check the station directly.
