About the tides at Leadenwah Creek

Leadenwah Creek has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. With a mean range of about 5.8 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 7.3 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 6.3 ft, on Sunday.

Leadenwah Creek is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Ho-Non-Wah Boy Scout Camp, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 5 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Wadmalaw Island, Wadmalaw River entrance.
