About the tides at Pimlico

Pimlico 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 Charleston, Cooper River Entrance. The mean range is small, about 1.7 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 2.1 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.3 ft on September 30, and the lowest is −1.3 ft on January 23.

Pimlico is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Charleston, Cooper River Entrance: highs come about 199 min and lows about 233 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1976 to 1977 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Old Rice Mill, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 23 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Childsbury, S.a.l. RR. bridge.

Predictions are based on Charleston, Cooper River Entrance.
