About the tides at North Dewees Island
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.7 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at Charleston, Cooper River Entrance. The average range is about 4.8 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 5.3 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 6.3 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 3.6 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 6.3 ft on October 1, and the lowest is −1.4 ft on January 23.
North Dewees Island is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Charleston, Cooper River Entrance: highs come about 2 min and lows about 11 min earlier than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1975 to 1976 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Capers Creek, 0.5 mi away, where high tide comes about 10 min later. For tidal currents, see Horlbeck Creek, 0.2 mile above entrance.
Predictions are based on Charleston, Cooper River Entrance.
