About the tides at Bennet's Dock
Bennet's Dock has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. On a typical day the water moves about 3.8 ft between high and low. That is smaller than most South Carolina stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 4.4 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 5.2 ft, comes on October 28, and the smallest, 2.8 ft, on Monday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 5.2 ft on November 25 and bottom out at −0.3 ft on January 23.
Predictions for Bennet's Dock come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1975 to 1977 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Pawleys Island Pier (ocean), 0.6 mi away, where high tide comes about 48 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Butler Island, 0.3 mile south of.
