About the tides at Fenwick Island

Fenwick Island has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. With a mean range of about 5.8 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 7.4 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 6.1 ft, on Sunday.

Fenwick Island is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is White House Woods, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 23 min later. For tidal currents, see Sampson Island, S end, South Edisto Riv..
