Where Oyster Landing (N. Inlet Estuary) is
Oyster Landing (N. Inlet Estuary) sits at 33.3517° N, 79.1867° W on the Carolina and Georgia coast on the South Atlantic Bight, about 1 mi southwest of DeBordieu Colony, SC, in Georgetown County. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 1982 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 Oyster Landing (N Inlet Estuary), SC (a Hohonu community gauge), 0.2 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 9 min earlier than there.
The tide at Oyster Landing (N. Inlet Estuary)
Oyster Landing (N. Inlet Estuary) 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 5.1 ft, and 4.6 ft between the average high and the average low, a moderate tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.3 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 Oyster Landing (N. Inlet Estuary) about 1.1 hours after the moon passes overhead. That lag is local, which is why high water does not line up with the moon.
- Highest water on record: 9.7 ft on Oct 8, 2016.
- Lowest on record: -1.9 ft on Mar 12, 2005.
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 Oyster Landing (N. Inlet Estuary) from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 5.1 ft above it and mean sea level 2.7 ft. The land survey datum NAVD88, the zero on topographic maps and flood maps, is 2.7 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 Springmaid Pier, SC gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8662245, established 1982, 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.
