About the tides at Briars Creek ent.
Briars Creek ent. 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. The range is large, about 6.4 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 6.9 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 8.4 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 4.7 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 8.3 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −1.7 ft on January 23.
Briars Creek ent. is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Fort Pulaski, Savannah River: highs come about 126 min and lows about 84 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1977 to 1979 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Whale Branch entrance, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 39 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Whale Branch River.
Predictions are based on Fort Pulaski, Savannah River.
