Where Jacksonboro Camp is
Jacksonboro Camp sits at 32.7533° N, 80.4500° W on the Carolina and Georgia coast on the South Atlantic Bight, at Jacksonboro, SC, in Colleton County. The station here is a subordinate tide prediction point. NOAA has no gauge in the water at this spot; its times and heights are published as offsets from a reference gauge, named below. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Edisto Beach, SC (a Hohonu community gauge), 19.1 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 193 min later than there. The nearest weather station is Bennett's Point, ACE Basin Reserve, SC, a shore station reporting wind and, at most sites, water temperature, 13.4 mi away.
The tide at Jacksonboro Camp
Jacksonboro Camp 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 1.9 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 4.4 ft, and 4.0 ft between the average high and the average low, a moderate tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.2 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 Jacksonboro Camp about 3.3 hours after the moon passes overhead. That lag is local, which is why high water does not line up with the moon.
- NOAA predicts tides here from Fort Pulaski, Savannah River Entrance, station 8670870. High tide comes about 166 min later and low tide about 214 min later than there.
- High tide heights run about 0.59 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 Jacksonboro Camp from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 4.4 ft above it and mean sea level 2.5 ft. The land survey datum NAVD88, the zero on topographic maps and flood maps, is 1.3 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 8665737, established 1977, gauge removed 1983. 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.
