What a local would tell you
Good access to Masonboro Sound without fighting the Wrightsville crowds. Smaller lot, so it still fills — but it empties faster in the afternoon.
The tide today
NOAA has not returned a prediction for station 8658145 right now, so there is no curve to draw. Nothing here is worth guessing at — check the station directly.
