About the tides at Minim Creek ent.
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.6 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. 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. 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.
