King Tides in the Charleston Area October 10-11 & 26-29

King Tide is a common term for 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.

There are two King Tides in October because the lunar cycle, which takes about 29.5 days to complete a full and new moon phase, aligns twice this month.

The next dates of the predicted King Tides are October 10-11 and 26-29.

Seabrook Island Birders October Activities

Fall migration is in full swing and birds are on the move! Every day is an opportunity to see migrants as they pass through our area. Join us in October at one of several events around the island and in the local area. We hope to see you there. No birding experience necessary, we all learn together!

St. Christopher Camp 2026 Deveaux Bank Birding and Kayak Tour

Attention all bird and kayak enthusiasts! The St. Christopher Camp and Conference Center’s Outdoor Encounters program invites you to join us on our annual Deveaux Bank Birding and Kayak Trip. The 3-hour tour will take place on Saturday, October 24, 2026, from 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm.

The trip includes paddling with tandem or single sit-on-top kayaks from St. Christopher’s Beach on Seabrook Island to Deveaux Bank, with an hour of exploring and birding along Deveaux’s intertidal zone.

Deveaux Bank is one of the premier seabird sanctuaries north of Florida, with thousands of birds nesting and migrating through every year. An assortment of species, including American white pelicans and piping plovers, frequent the bank’s shores. Because of Deveaux’s importance, we ask that all guests adhere to SCDNR regulations by staying below the high tide line, not designated as a nesting area.

Spots are limited on a first-come, first-served basis and, as such, you may be placed on a waitlist. The cost is $85 per person. Lunch is not provided. If you are interested in joining us for the 2026 trip, please fill out this form to register: https://forms.gle/UwQG722GbPiDEZsM8

Special notes:

• Please be mindful of the vigorous nature of this kayaking trip.

• As Deveaux Bank’s intertidal zone only opens for landing between October 16 and March 14, we select our tour date for late October based on tidal and current conditions. Although we target late October due to more favorable weather, this tour is weather-dependent, and low air temperatures, low water temperatures, wind, storms, or other natural events may force cancellation. We cannot guarantee a make-up date if we cancel. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we ensure the safest experience possible.

• A signed waiver form and completed kayak health questionnaire are required to participate.

Please contact Tyler Harris, Associate Director of Barrier Island, at tharris@stchristopher.org if you have any questions. We look forward to exploring Deveaux with you.
