About the tides at Haig Point
Haig Point has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The pattern follows the reference station at Fort Pulaski, Savannah River. With a mean range of about 6.8 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. That is larger than most South Carolina stations on this site. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 9.1 ft on October 27 and bottom out at −1.8 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 Bull Creek, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 8 min later. For tidal currents, see Haig Point Light, NW of, Cooper River.
Predictions are based on Fort Pulaski, Savannah River.
