About the tides at Jacobs Wharf
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.5 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at CHARLESTON (Customhouse Wharf). The average range is about 3.7 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most South Carolina stations on this site. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 4.6 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 4.0 ft.
Jacobs Wharf is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting CHARLESTON (Customhouse Wharf): highs come about 135 min and lows about 142 min later than there. The nearest other station is Georgetown, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 4 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Georgetown, Sampit River.
Predictions are based on CHARLESTON (Customhouse Wharf).
