About the tides at Wappoo Creek
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.7 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at CHARLESTON (Customhouse Wharf). On a typical day the water moves about 5.0 ft between high and low. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 6.3 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 5.4 ft, on Sunday.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at CHARLESTON (Customhouse Wharf), with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is South Ashley Bridge, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 18 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Ashley River Memorial Bridge, Highway 17.
Predictions are based on CHARLESTON (Customhouse Wharf).
