About the tides at Bluff Plantation

Bluff Plantation 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 Entrance. On a typical day the water moves about 3.2 ft between high and low. That is smaller than most South Carolina stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 3.7 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 3.9 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 2.5 ft, on Sunday.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Fort Pulaski, Savannah River Entrance, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here from 1976 to 1984 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Cuckolds Creek, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 28 min later. For tidal currents, see Whale Branch River.

Predictions are based on Fort Pulaski, Savannah River Entrance.
