About the tides at Oaks Creek, 0.5 mi. above entrance
Oaks Creek, 0.5 mi. above entrance has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at Springmaid Pier, Atlantic Ocean. The average range is about 4.3 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 4.8 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 5.9 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 3.0 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 5.8 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −1.4 ft on January 23.
Oaks Creek, 0.5 mi. above entrance is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Springmaid Pier, Atlantic Ocean: highs come about 38 min and lows about 63 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1974 to 1976 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Allston Creek, 0.6 mi away, where high tide comes about 14 min later.
Predictions are based on Springmaid Pier, Atlantic Ocean.
