About the tides at Mackay River (Daymark 239)

Mackay River (Daymark 239) 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 Fort Pulaski, Savannah River. The range is large, about 6.7 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 9.2 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −2.0 ft on January 23.

Mackay River (Daymark 239) is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Fort Pulaski, Savannah River: highs come about 58 min and lows about 56 min later than there.

Predictions are based on Fort Pulaski, Savannah River.
