Fripp Island Tide Chart

Planning a day on the beach, a fishing trip, or a boat outing on Fripp Island? Tide levels along this Lowcountry barrier island change throughout the day and can make a big difference for beachcombing, surf fishing, crabbing, and navigating the creeks and marshes around the resort. Use the tide times below to time your visit to the shore, and check back daily since tide schedules shift each day.

  • Beachcombing and shelling: Low tide exposes the widest stretch of sand and is the best time to find shells
  • Surf and inshore fishing: Many anglers find the two hours around a changing tide (rising or falling) produce the most active bites
  • Boating and kayaking: Check the tide before launching from the marina, since low water exposes sandbars and mud flats in the creeks
  • Swimming and paddleboarding: Mid to high tide generally means calmer, deeper water close to shore
