About the tides at Bull Island North

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.8 ft. With a mean range of about 7.3 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. That is larger than most South Carolina stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 9.0 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 7.7 ft, on Sunday.

Bull Island North is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Brighton Beach. May River, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 10 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Spanish Wells, Calibogue Sound.
