About the tides at Elliott Cut entrance

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.7 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at CHARLESTON (Customhouse Wharf). 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. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 6.2 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 5.3 ft.

Elliott Cut entrance is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting CHARLESTON (Customhouse Wharf): 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 (Customhouse Wharf).
