About the tides at Baileys Landing
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Okatee River, Colleton River, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The range is large, about 7.9 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is larger than most South Carolina stations on this site. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 9.6 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 8.3 ft.
Baileys Landing is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Callawassie Island Bridge, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 13 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Lemon Island South, Chechessee River.
