About the tides at Richmond Plantation
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at E. Br. Cooper River, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Charleston, Cooper River Entrance. The average range is about 2.7 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most South Carolina stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 3.1 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 28, with a range of 3.8 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 0.9 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.7 ft on September 30, and the lowest is −2.0 ft on January 23.
Richmond Plantation is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Charleston, Cooper River Entrance: highs come about 223 min and lows about 223 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1976 to 1977 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Bonneau Ferry, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 29 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Bonneau Ferry, east of.
Predictions are based on Charleston, Cooper River Entrance.
