About the tides at Cape Romain

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.6 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at Charleston, Cooper River Entrance. On a typical day the water moves about 4.5 ft between high and low. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 5.6 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 3.4 ft, on October 19. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 6.2 ft on October 1 and bottom out at −1.3 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 1977 to 1978 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Casino Creek, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 2 m later. For tidal currents, see South Santee River entrance.

Predictions are based on Charleston, Cooper River Entrance.
