About the tides at Georgetown

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.6 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. On a typical day the water moves about 3.8 ft between high and low. That is smaller than most South Carolina stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 4.2 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 4.4 ft, comes tomorrow, and the smallest, 2.9 ft, on October 19. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 5.3 ft on October 27 and bottom out at −0.7 ft on January 23.

Predictions for Georgetown come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1982 to 2022 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Waccamaw River Entrance, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 13 min later. For tidal currents, see Georgetown, Sampit River.
