About the tides at Pine Island
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.8 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at Fort Pulaski, Savannah River. The range is large, about 7.2 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is larger than most South Carolina stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 7.7 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 9.3 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 5.6 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 9.2 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −1.7 ft on January 23.
Pine Island is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Fort Pulaski, Savannah River: highs come about 34 min and lows about 28 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1980 to 1982 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Daufuskie Landing, 1 mi away. For tidal currents, see Ramshorn Creek Light, E of, Cooper River.
Predictions are based on Fort Pulaski, Savannah River.
