King Tides in the Charleston Area November 4-9

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 2025 predicted tides are:

  • November 4 – 9
  • December 3 – 6

Full Moon Bonfire November 5

Full Moon Bonfire
Wednesday, November 5, 2025
Location: On the beach between BW 1 and 2
Sunset – 5:26 pm
Moonrise – 5:21 pm
High Tide – 10:32 pm
Beaver Moon

November Full Moon Bonfire is happening!  Please join us on the beach for Seabrook Island’s Full Moon bonfire on Wednesday, November 5, 2025. This will be our final bonfire for 2025.  

November’s Full Beaver Supermoon reaches peak illumination and is the closest of the three Supermoons this year! 

Why the “Beaver” Moon? According to the Farmer’s Almanac, this is the time of year when beavers begin to take shelter in their lodges, having laid up sufficient food stores for the long winter ahead. During the fur trade in North America, it was also the season to trap beavers for their thick, winter-ready pelts. 

Hopefully, the weather will cooperate, clear and crisp. Plan accordingly, bring a chair, a friend or family member, a beverage/snack, and a piece of wood/log for the fire. Nothing will be provided but a beautiful beach, a warm fire, and a full moon.

People ask if the bonfire will be held if it’s rainy. The bonfire will be canceled if it is raining or rain is threatening, as few would be comfortable attending.

According to the permit, the fire must be extinguished by 10:00 pm.

Full moon bonfires will resume in spring 2026.   Stay tuned!

Founded in 1983, Lowcountry Food Bank strives to fulfill its mission to unite our community in pursuit of equitable, dignified, and consistent access to food throughout the 10 coastal counties of South Carolina. The local food bank is at 2864 Azalea Dr, North Charleston, SC.
