About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for North Dewees Island, Capers Inlet from the CHARLESTON (Customhouse Wharf) station: high tides about 0.91× the height, 2 min earlier; low tides about 0.95× the height, 11 min earlier.

Georgia and the Carolinas run the biggest ranges on the Southeast coast — 7 to 10 ft through marsh creeks and barrier-island inlets that rearrange themselves with every storm.
