About the tides at Frederica River
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Frederica Rv., 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 7.0 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 9.3 ft on October 27 and bottom out at −1.9 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. The nearest other station is Mackay River (Daymark 239), 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 10 min later. For tidal currents, see Mackay R., 0.5 mi. N of Troup Creek entrance.
Predictions are based on Fort Pulaski, Savannah River.
