Predictions from NOAA station Springmaid Pier, 5 km southwest of Myrtle Beach. These are predictions, not live readings. How we use NOAA tide data
The tides on this Myrtle Beach tide chart come from NOAA’s station at Springmaid Pier, about 5 km southwest of the downtown oceanfront. NOAA’s records date the station to September 1976 and list no end date, and it belongs to the National Water Level Observation Network, the long-term gauges NOAA keeps along the coast. Two NOAA prediction points sit closer to downtown, but both are on the Intracoastal Waterway behind the city; Springmaid Pier is the nearest one that faces the open Atlantic.
The page gives tides in Myrtle Beach, SC, in the order a beach day needs them: today’s highs and lows, the next high tides, the low tides that come in daylight, then the calendar and the month’s spring and neap tides.

Swashes along the beach
Creeks reach the ocean in Myrtle Beach through swashes, which Visit Myrtle Beach describes as marshy places where the ocean’s saltwater meets a stream’s freshwater. The city names five main swash areas inside its limits: Bear Branch, Cane Patch, Deep Head, Midway and Withers Swash. It counts them among the places that hold and carry off floodwater, and it keeps about 11 acres of Withers Swash, the Eight Mile Swash of colonial maps, as a park with a nature trail and picnic shelters.

Highest high tide of each day, top five. Heights in feet above mean lower low water (MLLW).
How high is a high tide here? NOAA’s long-term average for the higher of each day’s two highs at Springmaid Pier is 5.6 ft on the scale this page uses. The National Weather Service counts minor coastal flooding at this gauge from about 7.0 ft, moderate flooding from 8.5 ft and major flooding from 10.5 ft. Those levels apply to the water that actually arrives. The tables only list astronomical predictions, and a strong onshore wind or a storm can push the sea above them.
NOAA also keeps a yearly count of the days the measured water at Springmaid Pier reached its own minor flood level, about 7.5 ft, a little above the Weather Service’s mark. It recorded 13 such days in 2022 and again in 2023, against two or three a year in 2016 to 2018. A high tide that comes in near the top of the tables is the one to watch when the wind is onshore.
Behind those counts is a slow rise in the sea. In NOAA’s monthly records for Springmaid Pier, which run from 1957, the mean water level has climbed 1.32 inches a decade, give or take 0.09, about 9 inches over the whole record.

Myrtle Beach tides in November: highs, lows and spring tides
One run of big tides gives November both its extremes in Myrtle Beach: a high of 6.8 ft on Wednesday, November 25, at 7:19 AM, and a low of −0.6 ft on Thursday, November 26, at 1:57 AM.
That low comes in the dark, before sunrise.
An average November day moves the water 5.4 ft from highest high to lowest low, and December matches it to the tenth of a foot.
With the sun and moon in line, the daily range peaks at 7.4 ft on Thursday, November 26, 2 days after the full moon on November 24.
Monday, November 16 brings the neap tide, 1 day before the first quarter moon on November 17, with just 3.6 ft between high and low.
That is less than half the biggest range.
| Measure | Value | When |
|---|---|---|
| Highest high | 6.8 ft | Nov 25, 7:19 AM |
| Lowest low | −0.6 ft | Nov 26, 1:57 AM |
| Average range | 5.4 ft | 30 days |
| Spring tide range | 7.4 ft | Nov 26 (2 days after full moon) |
| Neap tide range | 3.6 ft | Nov 16 (1 day before first quarter moon) |
Range: a day's highest high tide minus its lowest low tide. Heights in feet above mean lower low water (MLLW).
The Springmaid Pier tide station
Springmaid Pier has its own harmonic constants, so the curves on this page are NOAA's 6-minute predictions, not an interpolation.
It stands 5 km southwest of Myrtle Beach, so the tide on the beach can come slightly earlier or later, and run slightly higher or lower.
7 of the 53 days from November 9 to December 31 show three tides instead of four: each tide arrives about 52 minutes later than the day before.
The pier that gives the station its name has a rough history: the National Weather Service office in Wilmington records that Springmaid Pier and its weather station were destroyed by Hurricane Matthew on October 8, 2016. Tide predictions do not need the pier: NOAA works them out years in advance, so the forecasts on this page carry on regardless.

How Myrtle Beach compares with its neighbors
Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach
NOAA computes the Hog Inlet Pier predictions from those for Springmaid Pier, the Myrtle Beach station, with fixed offsets. So high tide in Myrtle Beach comes 6 minutes later than in North Myrtle Beach and low tide 7 minutes later, on every tide: NOAA's adjustment, not a separate measurement.
Only the highs differ in height: 0.1 ft higher in Myrtle Beach, with the lows level.
Myrtle Beach and Pawleys Island
Tide for tide from November 9 to December 8, the median gap puts high tide in Myrtle Beach 6 minutes earlier than on Pawleys Island (11 minutes earlier to 1 minute later) and low tide 2 minutes earlier (10 minutes earlier to 2 minutes later).
In height, highs in Myrtle Beach come out 0.3 ft higher and lows 0.2 ft higher.
NOAA predicts the two stations independently, so the gap shifts from tide to tide.
| Compared with | High tide time | Low tide time | High tide height | Low tide height |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| North Myrtle Beach (Hog Inlet Pier) | 6 min later | 7 min later | 0.1 ft higher | About the same |
| Pawleys Island (Pawleys Island Pier) | Median −6 min (−11 to +1) | Median −2 min (−10 to +2) | 0.3 ft higher | 0.2 ft higher |
How Myrtle Beach's tides compare: later or earlier, higher or lower than the station named in the first column. Heights in feet.
Common questions about Myrtle Beach tides

When is the next king tide in Myrtle Beach?
No predicted high tide at Springmaid Pier reaches 7.0 ft, the National Weather Service's minor flood level there, in the 12 months to November 8, 2027. The next of the five highest predicted tides in that time comes on Wednesday, November 25, 2026, at 7:19 AM (6.8 ft); the highest is 6.9 ft on Friday, October 1, 2027, at 8:51 AM. NOAA keeps no official king tide list; "king tide" is the common name for these highest predicted tides. The dates and heights are astronomical predictions only, and wind, rain or a storm surge can lift the actual water above them or hold it below.
