About the tides at Cumberland

Cumberland has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The pattern follows the reference station at Charleston, Cooper River Entrance. On a typical day the water moves about 4.0 ft between high and low. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 4.4 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 5.4 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 3.1 ft, today. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 5.3 ft on September 30 and bottom out at −1.1 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 in 1982 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Jacobs Wharf, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 27 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Georgetown, Sampit River.

Predictions are based on Charleston, Cooper River Entrance.
