About the tides at North Charleston

North Charleston has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The range is large, about 5.9 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 6.4 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 8.0 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −0.9 ft on January 22.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 2021 to 2022 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Magnolia Gardens, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 8 min later. For tidal currents, see Drayton, Railroad Bridge.
