About the tides at Chatham Harbor

This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. On a typical day the water moves about 4.6 ft between high and low. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 5.2 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 6.5 ft, comes on November 23, and the smallest, 4.0 ft, on November 17. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 6.6 ft on November 26 and bottom out at −0.8 ft on January 24.

A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It was established in 1955. The nearest other station is Chatham, 2 mi away. For tidal currents, see Stage Harbor, west of Morris Island.
