About the tides at Port Royal

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.2 ft. The mean range is small, about 1.7 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak on October 10, with a range of 2.2 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 1.4 ft.

Port Royal is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Park Turn, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 24 min later. For tidal currents, see Port Royal.
