About the tides at Minim Creek ent.
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.6 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at Charleston, Cooper River Entrance. The average range is about 4.0 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 4.5 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 28, with a range of 5.4 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 2.8 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 5.3 ft on October 1, and the lowest is −1.4 ft on January 23.
Minim Creek ent. is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Charleston, Cooper River Entrance: highs come about 16 min and lows about 60 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here in 1975 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is South Island Ferry, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 38 min later. For tidal currents, see North Santee River entrance.
Predictions are based on Charleston, Cooper River Entrance.
