About the tides at Litchfield Beach bridge

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.5 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Springmaid Pier, Atlantic Ocean. The average range is about 2.6 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 on October 27, with a range of 4.1 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 1.8 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 4.0 ft on October 1, and the lowest is −1.1 ft on January 23.

Litchfield Beach bridge is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Springmaid Pier, Atlantic Ocean: highs come about 70 min and lows about 182 min later than there. The nearest other station is Midway Inlet North, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 54 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Butler Island, 0.3 mile south of.

Predictions are based on Springmaid Pier, Atlantic Ocean.
