About the tides at Fields Point

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Combahee R., each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Fort Pulaski, Savannah River. With a mean range of about 6.0 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 8.2 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 4.5 ft, on Monday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 8.1 ft on October 27 and bottom out at −1.7 ft on January 23.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Fort Pulaski, Savannah River, 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 1977 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Bowles Island, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 20 min later. For tidal currents, see Combahee River, S. of Fields Point.

Predictions are based on Fort Pulaski, Savannah River.
