About the tides at Yonges Island

Yonges Island has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The pattern follows the reference station at CHARLESTON (Customhouse Wharf). The range is large, about 6.5 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 7.1 ft. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 7.9 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 6.8 ft.

Yonges Island is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting CHARLESTON (Customhouse Wharf): highs come about 82 min and lows about 45 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1977 to 1978 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Lower Toogoodoo Creek, 3 mi away. For tidal currents, see Wadmalaw Island, Wadmalaw River entrance.

Predictions are based on CHARLESTON (Customhouse Wharf).
