About the tides at Socastee Bridge

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Socastee Bridge, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Charleston, Cooper River Entrance. The average range is about 2.1 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most South Carolina stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.4 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.8 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −1.1 ft on January 23.

Socastee Bridge is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Charleston, Cooper River Entrance: highs come about 207 min and lows about 281 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1976 to 1977 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Enterprise Landing, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 34 m later.

Predictions are based on Charleston, Cooper River Entrance.
