About the tides at Air Station Beaufort

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at McCalleys creek, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The range is large, about 6.8 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is larger than most South Carolina stations on this site. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 9.2 ft. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 6.6 ft.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. The nearest other station is Brickyard Point, 0.6 mi away, where high tide comes about 8 min later. For tidal currents, see Whale Branch River.
