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. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 6.2 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 5.2 ft.

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 29 m later.

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.
