About the tides at Fort Fremont
Fort Fremont 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 6.6 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is larger than most South Carolina stations on this site. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 7.9 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 6.9 ft.
Fort Fremont is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Station Creek, west end, 2 mi away. For tidal currents, see Beaufort River Entrance.
