About the tides at Pine Island
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.8 ft. The range is large, about 7.0 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is larger than most South Carolina stations on this site. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 8.5 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 7.3 ft.
Pine Island is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Daufuskie Landing, 1 mi away. For tidal currents, see Ramshorn Creek Light, E of, Cooper River.
