About the tides at Myrtle Beach, Combination Bridge
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.3 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Charleston, Cooper River Entrance. Water here rises and falls only about 1.7 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most South Carolina stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.0 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.4 ft on October 27 and bottom out at −1.3 ft on January 23.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Charleston, Cooper River Entrance, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here from 1976 to 1978 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Myrtle Beach, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 3 h 26 m earlier.
Predictions are based on Charleston, Cooper River Entrance.
