Where Carolina Forest, ICWW is
Carolina Forest, ICWW sits at 33.7349° N, 78.8827° W on the Carolina and Georgia coast on the South Atlantic Bight, about 1 mi north of Myrtle Beach, SC, in Horry County. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 2022 until 2022, and NOAA still publishes harmonic predictions from that record. There is no live reading here today. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Springmaid Pier, Myrtle beach (NOAA 8661070), 5.9 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 5 min earlier than there. The nearest weather station is Myrtle Beach International Airport, an airport reporting wind, visibility and sky cover, but no water temperature, 4.6 mi away.
The tide at Carolina Forest, ICWW
Carolina Forest, ICWW has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows a day of about the same size, roughly 12 hours 25 minutes apart. This month's predictions average 26.9 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 1.8 ft, and 1.5 ft between the average high and the average low, a small tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.1 ft and the lower low sits 0.2 ft below the other low. For the water around it: Lowcountry tides are semidiurnal, two highs and two lows a day of near equal size, and the range grows toward Georgia, where 6 to 9 ft is normal.
About this station
High tide reaches Carolina Forest, ICWW about 3.0 hours after the moon passes overhead. That lag is local, which is why high water does not line up with the moon.
Datum and source
Heights on this page are feet above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero NOAA's nautical charts use for soundings. A predicted 0.0 ft low is the average of the lower low each day; a minus tide is water below chart datum, and a 2 ft high means 2 ft more water than the chart shows. NOAA fixes MLLW at Carolina Forest, ICWW from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 1.8 ft above it and mean sea level 0.9 ft. The land survey datum NAVD88, the zero on topographic maps and flood maps, is 0.5 ft above MLLW here, so a water level on this page converts to NAVD88 by subtracting that amount. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Charleston, SC gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8660754, established 2022, gauge removed 2022. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
🌊 Biggest flood tides at Carolina Forest, ICWW this month: Oct 1, Oct 2, Oct 3, Oct 4, Oct 5, Oct 6, Oct 7, Oct 8, Oct 9, Oct 10, Oct 11, Oct 12 …. These spring highs push water up into the grass and over the oyster rock; prime for poling into flooded marsh for tailing reds.
Major and minor solunar windows for Carolina Forest, ICWW, peak feeding activity is around the moon overhead/underfoot (majors) and moonrise/moonset (minors). Score is the day's activity coefficient (0–100).
