About the tides at Five Fathom Creek entrance
Five Fathom Creek entrance has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at Charleston, Cooper River Entrance. The average range is about 4.7 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 6.4 ft on October 1, and the lowest is −1.4 ft on January 23.
Five Fathom Creek entrance is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Charleston, Cooper River Entrance: highs come about 6 min and lows about 7 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is Harbor River entrance, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 9 min later.
Predictions are based on Charleston, Cooper River Entrance.
