About the tides at Ward's Dock

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. The average range is about 3.3 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most South Carolina stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 3.8 ft. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 4.1 ft. Neap tides follow on October 7, when the range shrinks to 3.3 ft.

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 1975 to 1976 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Bennet's Dock, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 17 min later. For tidal currents, see Butler Island, 0.3 mile south of.
