About the tides at Doughboy Island
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at New River, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Fort Pulaski, Savannah River. The range is large, about 6.6 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 9.0 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −1.9 ft on January 23.
Doughboy Island is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Fort Pulaski, Savannah River: highs come about 64 min and lows about 66 min later than there. The nearest other station is Pine Island, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 30 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Ramshorn Creek Light, E of, Cooper River.
Predictions are based on Fort Pulaski, Savannah River.
