About the tides at Pawleys Island Pier (ocean)

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.8 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The average range is about 4.9 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 5.5 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 6.9 ft on August 2, and the lowest is −1.6 ft on January 23.

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 1975 to 1977 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Bennet's Dock, 0.6 mi away, where high tide comes about 55 min later. For tidal currents, see Butler Island, 0.3 mile south of.
