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 range is large, about 6.2 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 7.6 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 6.5 ft.
Briars Creek ent. is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. 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.
