About the tides at Hutchinson Island
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.7 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at Fort Pulaski, Savannah River. The range is large, about 5.7 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. The next spring tides peak on October 25, with a range of 7.1 ft. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 4.2 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 7.7 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −1.7 ft on January 23.
Hutchinson Island is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Fort Pulaski, Savannah River: highs come about 31 min and lows about 44 min later than there. The nearest other station is White House Woods, 2 mi away. For tidal currents, see Ashepoo Coosaw Cutoff, Icw marker 181.
Predictions are based on Fort Pulaski, Savannah River.
