About the tides at Skull Creek

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Ribaut Island, Skull Creek, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The range is large, about 6.8 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. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 7.4 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 8.9 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −1.3 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 1980 to 1997 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Pinckney Island, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 15 min later. For tidal currents, see Skull Creek, north entrance.
