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. 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.
