About the tides at Broughton Point

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.8 ft. The range is large, about 7.6 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 9.1 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 8.0 ft.

Broughton Point is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Chechessee Bluff, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 28 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Boyd Creek Entrance, SE of, Broad River.
