About the tides at Little Back River

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Hwy. 17, Back River, S.C., each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. With a mean range of about 7.3 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. That is larger than most South Carolina stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 9.0 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 7.7 ft, on Sunday.

Little Back River is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Port Wentworth, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 34 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Port Wentworth, 0.2 mile above.
