About the tides at Little Back River

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at U.S. Highway 17, Little Back River, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Fort Pulaski, Savannah River. With a mean range of about 7.6 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. That is larger than most South Carolina stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 8.2 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 9.8 ft on October 27 and bottom out at −2.1 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. NOAA measured the tide here from 1980 to 1982 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Port Wentworth, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 48 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Port Wentworth, 0.2 mile above.

Predictions are based on Fort Pulaski, Savannah River.
