About the tides at Oak Branch

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.9 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at Charleston, Cooper River Entrance. The range is large, about 6.3 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 8.7 ft. Neap tides follow tomorrow, when the range shrinks to 5.0 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 8.7 ft on October 1, and the lowest is −1.7 ft on January 23.

Oak Branch is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Charleston, Cooper River Entrance: highs come about 99 min and lows about 57 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1982 to 1983 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Church Creek bridge, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 19 min later. For tidal currents, see Goshen Point, SE of, Wadmalaw River.

Predictions are based on Charleston, Cooper River Entrance.
