About the tides at Myrtle Beach Airport
Myrtle Beach Airport has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. On a typical day the water moves about 2.6 ft between high and low. That is smaller than most South Carolina stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 3.5 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 2.9 ft, on Sunday.
Myrtle Beach Airport is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Nixon Crossroads, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 42 min earlier.
Tide predictions and water levels from NOAA CO-OPS. For planning only, not for navigation. Real water levels can differ because of wind, air pressure and river flow. Always check conditions on site.
