About the tides at Jamestown Bridge
Jamestown Bridge 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 CHARLESTON (Customhouse Wharf). Water here rises and falls only about 1.1 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most South Carolina stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.3 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.4 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 1.1 ft, on Sunday.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at CHARLESTON (Customhouse Wharf), with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here from 1976 to 1977 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Pleasant Hill Landing, 10 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 47 m earlier.
Predictions are based on CHARLESTON (Customhouse Wharf).
