About the tides at Elliott Cut entrance
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.8 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Charleston, Cooper River Entrance. The range is large, about 5.1 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 5.7 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 6.8 ft on October 1, and the lowest is −1.7 ft on January 23.
Elliott Cut entrance is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Charleston, Cooper River Entrance: highs come about 48 min and lows about 52 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1974 to 1975 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Wappoo Creek, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 26 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Elliott Cut, west end.
Predictions are based on Charleston, Cooper River Entrance.
