About the tides at Frederica River Bridge
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.8 ft. With a mean range of about 6.6 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 today, and the smallest, 6.9 ft, on Sunday.
Frederica River Bridge is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is St. Simons Island, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 31 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Back River entrance.
