About the tides at Johns Island

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.9 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at CHARLESTON (Customhouse Wharf). The range is large, about 6.9 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is larger than most South Carolina stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 7.4 ft. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 8.3 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 7.2 ft.

Johns Island is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting CHARLESTON (Customhouse Wharf): highs come about 103 min and lows about 60 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1977 to 1978 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Hollywood, 3 mi away. For tidal currents, see Goshen Point, SE of, Wadmalaw River.

Predictions are based on CHARLESTON (Customhouse Wharf).
