About the tides at Thoroughfare Creek entrance

This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. 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. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 4.4 ft on October 27 and bottom out at −0.5 ft on January 22.

Predictions for Thoroughfare Creek entrance 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 1974 to 1976 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Arundel Plantation, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 8 min later. For tidal currents, see Butler Island, 0.3 mile south of.
