About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Smith's Dock from the Springmaid Pier, Myrtle beach station: high tides about 0.86× the height, 61 min later; low tides about 0.95× the height, 96 min later.

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.
