About the tides at Taylors Island
Taylors Island has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. Water here rises and falls only about 1.1 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.9 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 0.9 ft, on Monday.
Taylors Island is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Smithville Road Bridge, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 39 min later. For tidal currents, see James Island, 1.6 n.mi. SW of.
