About the tides at Wachesaw Landing

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. On a typical day the water moves about 2.4 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 2.7 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 3.5 ft on October 27 and bottom out at −0.6 ft on January 23.

Predictions for Wachesaw Landing 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 1981 to 2023 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Smith's Dock, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 2 h 34 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Butler Island, 0.3 mile south of.
