When going north last month, we followed the ICW across North Carolina.
I understand that the waterways and sounds are not so much affected by tide, rather wind.
Does that hold true all the way to VA?
Specific area my question is about.
Leaving Coinjock going north. After a couple of miles the channels opens into a larger body of water. Several shoaling warnings on Active Captain, some areas where water gets pretty skinny.
Looking at the shore line and vegetation - it sure looks like there is a tide. More regular than different wind directions. If I was basing it off the shore - I would guess a 2 foot tide.
Is this area affected by tide?
If yes, what tide reporting station would you use (didn't find anything within 15 miles) ?
Thanks in advance.
