- High tide heights run about 0.82 times the reference.
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 Hope Creek, Edisto River from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 6.1 ft above it and mean sea level 3.4 ft. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Willtown Bluff, Sc gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8666167, established 1978, gauge removed 1979. The tide times and heights are published as time and height offsets from its reference gauge; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
