About the tides at Richmond Hill
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Ogeechee River, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. On a typical day the water moves about 4.7 ft between high and low. That is smaller than most Georgia stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 5.2 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 6.2 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 3.6 ft, on Wednesday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 6.6 ft on October 27 and bottom out at −0.5 ft on January 21.
Predictions for Richmond Hill come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here in 2022 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Belfast, 8 mi away, where high tide comes about 37 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Montgomery, Vernon River.
