About the tides at Goose Creek entrance

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.9 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The range is large, about 5.4 ft on average.

The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 6.6 ft. Neap tides follow on October 13, when the range shrinks to 5.7 ft.
