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, Myrtle beach. The average range is about 2.7 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 3.6 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 2.9 ft.

Litchfield Beach bridge is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Springmaid Pier, Myrtle beach: 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, Myrtle beach.
