About the tides at Port Royal Plantation
Port Royal Plantation 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. With a mean range of about 6.1 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 6.8 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 8.0 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 4.4 ft, today. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 7.8 ft on October 27 and bottom out at −1.8 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 1979 to 1980 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Station Creek, west end, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 15 min later. For tidal currents, see Port Royal Plantation Tower, east of.
Predictions are based on Fort Pulaski, Savannah River.
