Orange: measured by NOAA's sensor, last 24 hours (6-minute data, preliminary). Dashed: predicted tide, through the next 24 hours. The prediction contains only the astronomical tide; wind, air pressure and river flow move the real water level away from it.
Hamlin Sound is a subordinate station: NOAA computes its tides from Charleston (Customhouse Wharf) with fixed time and height corrections.

On Tuesday, October 27, high tide at Hamlin Sound is at 9:19 AM (6.8 ft) and 9:43 PM (5.6 ft); low tide is at 2:40 AM (-0.1 ft) and 3:28 PM (0.3 ft) (EDT, heights above MLLW). The table above lists the next 7 days.
The highest predicted tide in the next 12 months is 6.8 ft on October 1, 2027 at 9:44 AM. The largest tides fall a day or two after a full or new moon, especially when the Moon is closest to Earth.
Yes — on 152 days in the next 12 months the low tide drops below 0 ft (MLLW). The lowest is -1.5 ft on January 23, 2027 at 1:48 AM. Minus tides expose the most shoreline, which is why tide-poolers look for them.
Station local time (EDT at the time this page was built), with daylight saving time applied where the area observes it — the same convention as NOAA's own tide tables.
From NOAA CO-OPS, the U.S. government tide station network (tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov); the predictions are public domain. Hamlin Sound is a subordinate station: NOAA derives its times and heights from the reference station Charleston (Customhouse Wharf) with fixed corrections. The curve between highs and lows is our interpolation. This page is not for navigation.
