About the tides at North Myrtle Beach
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. The mean range is small, about 1.8 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most South Carolina stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.2 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.5 ft on September 30, and the lowest is −1.2 ft on January 23.
North Myrtle Beach is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Charleston, Cooper River Entrance: highs come about 135 min and lows about 192 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here in 1977 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Myrtle Beach Airport, 7 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 6 m earlier.
Predictions are based on Charleston, Cooper River Entrance.
