Tide Times for Holden Beach, North Carolina. Today's tide charts show that the first high Tide will be at 02:19 am with a water level of 5.02 ft. It is then followed by a low tide at 08:51 am with a maximum water level of -0.39 ft.
The lowest high tides (or neap tides) occur when the Moon and Sun are at right angles to each other, so that their gravitational pull on Earth's waters originates from two different directions and is mitigated. Tides vary greatly by region and are influenced by sea-floor topography, storms, and water currents.
