About the tides at Richmond Plantation

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at East Branch, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at CHARLESTON (Customhouse Wharf). 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 today, with a range of 3.3 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 2.3 ft.

Richmond Plantation is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting CHARLESTON (Customhouse Wharf): 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 (Customhouse Wharf).
