King Tide is a commonly used term describing high tides that are higher than normal. They usually occur during a full or new moon or during specific seasons throughout the year. Charleston’s average high tide range is about 5.5 ft., but during a King Tide event, it can reach 7 ft. or higher.
King Tides can cause flooding in low-lying areas, resulting in road closures on Seabrook Island, as well as the Johns Island and Charleston areas. This is particularly true when a king tide coincides with significant rain and/or wind.
The first 2026 date of predicted King Tides is April 18.

WineLines: U.S. Pinot Noir
While Burgundy, France is the home of the Pinot Noir grape and the producer of truly world-class Pinot Noirs, the U.S. is a not too distant second in terms of production. After the 2004 movie âSidewaysâ was released (which celebrated Pinot Noir wines), interest in Pinot Noir wine took off in the United States. Vineyard acreage planted with Pinot Noir increased dramatically and new producers developed vineyards in California and the Willamette Valley in Oregon. Today, Pinot Noir sales are second only to Cabernet Sauvignon.
Pinot Noir is a difficult grape to grow successfully. Itâs thin-skinned and very sensitive to temperature, soil and disease. The vines produce tightly packed grape clusters which make it susceptible to various forms of disease and rot. Itâs a cool climate grape and doesnât do well in warmer climates. In California, Sonoma County and the Russian River Valley are two of the top producing areas as is the Willamette Valley in Oregon where nights are cooler and valley fog often develops.
An experienced and knowledgeable wine maker is critical for making good Pinot Noir wine. While that may apply to making any good wine, Pinot Noir ripens unevenly and generally requires hand-harvesting and gentle handling. Vinification processes can vary but if poorly managed, the wine can have a bitter edge or simply be flat.
