About the tides at South Santee River

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.7 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. On a typical day the water moves about 3.8 ft between high and low. That is smaller than most South Carolina stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 4.3 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 4.8 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 3.7 ft, on October 7.

Predictions for South Santee River come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1975 to 2022 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is U.S. Highway 17 bridge, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 21 min later. For tidal currents, see South Santee River entrance.
