About the tides at Thoroughfare Creek entrance

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Thoroughfare Creek entrance, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. On a typical day the water moves about 3.3 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 3.7 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 3.6 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 3.1 ft, on October 8.

Predictions for Thoroughfare Creek entrance come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only.
