About the tides at James Island Creek

James Island Creek has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The pattern follows the reference station at CHARLESTON (Customhouse Wharf). The range is large, about 5.1 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 6.4 ft. Neap tides follow on October 18, when the range shrinks to 3.8 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 7.1 ft on October 1, and the lowest is −1.5 ft on January 23.

James Island Creek is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting CHARLESTON (Customhouse Wharf): highs come about 17 min and lows about 7 min later than there. The nearest other station is Wappoo Creek, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 5 min later. For tidal currents, see Battery, southwest of.

Predictions are based on CHARLESTON (Customhouse Wharf).
