About the tides at Myrtle Beach
Myrtle Beach has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The range is large, about 5.0 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 5.6 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 6.9 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −1.4 ft on January 23.
Springmaid Pier is a NOAA water level station with a live gauge, updated every 6 minutes. Predictions come from the station's own tide records. It also reports water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 1976. The nearest other station is Myrtle Beach, Combination Bridge, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 3 h 24 m later.
