About the tides at Turkey Point, St. James Island
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.4 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The mean range is small, about 1.9 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.7 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.6 ft on August 2, and the lowest is −1.5 ft on December 24.
This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1973 to 2025 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Lanark, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 22 min later.
