About the tides at Oak Branch
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.0 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Charleston, Cooper River Entrance. The range is large, about 6.4 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 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.
