About the tides at Wharf Creek entrance
Wharf Creek entrance has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at Charleston, Cooper River Entrance. On a typical day the water moves about 4.9 ft between high and low. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 6.7 ft on October 1 and bottom out at −1.4 ft on January 23.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Charleston, Cooper River Entrance, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here in 1963 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Moores Landing, 3 mi away.
Predictions are based on Charleston, Cooper River Entrance.
