About the tides at Charleston

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.2 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. With a mean range of about 5.7 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 7.6 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 8.7 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 2.1 ft, on Saturday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 9.6 ft on December 24 and bottom out at −2.5 ft on July 5.

A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It also reports wind and air pressure. It was established in 1964. The nearest other station is Sitka Dock, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 7 min later. For tidal currents, see Coos Bay entrance.
