About the tides at Buffalo River entrance

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.9 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at Fort Pulaski, Savannah River.

Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 10.3 ft on October 27 and bottom out at −2.1 ft on January 23.
