About the tides at Parker Island
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Horlbeck Creek, Wando River, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Charleston, Cooper River Entrance. With a mean range of about 5.7 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 6.2 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 6.8 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 4.1 ft, on October 18. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 7.5 ft on October 1 and bottom out at −1.6 ft on January 23.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Charleston, Cooper River Entrance, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here in 1976 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Cainhoy, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 7 min later. For tidal currents, see Horlbeck Creek, 0.2 mile above entrance.
Predictions are based on Charleston, Cooper River Entrance.
