About the tides at Belfast

Belfast has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The pattern follows the reference station at Fort Pulaski, Savannah River. With a mean range of about 7.4 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 10.1 ft on October 27 and bottom out at −2.1 ft on January 23.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Fort Pulaski, Savannah River, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Sunbury, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 40 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Medway River at Marsh Island.

Predictions are based on Fort Pulaski, Savannah River.
