About the tides at Kiawah River Bridge

Kiawah River Bridge has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. With a mean range of about 5.5 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 6.8 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 6.0 ft, on Sunday.

Kiawah River Bridge is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Ho-Non-Wah Boy Scout Camp, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 35 min later. For tidal currents, see Deveaux Banks, off North Edisto River entrance.
