About the tides at Clambank Creek
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Goat Island, North Inlet, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The average range is about 4.7 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 5.2 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 11, with a range of 5.6 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 4.9 ft.
This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1976 to 1977 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Oyster Landing (N. Inlet Estuary), 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 10 min later. For tidal currents, see Lafayette swing bridge, Waccamaw River.
