About the tides at Blessing Plantation
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.4 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Charleston, Cooper River Entrance. On a typical day the water moves about 2.8 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 3.2 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 3.9 ft on September 30 and bottom out at −1.9 ft on January 23.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Charleston, Cooper River Entrance, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here from 1976 to 1977 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Bonneau Ferry, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 10 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Bonneau Ferry, east of.
Predictions are based on Charleston, Cooper River Entrance.
