About the tides at RR. Bridge
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.9 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at Fort Pulaski, Savannah River. The range is large, about 7.8 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is larger than most South Carolina stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 10.6 ft. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 6.1 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 10.4 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −1.9 ft on January 23.
RR. Bridge is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Fort Pulaski, Savannah River: highs come about 99 min and lows about 84 min later than there. The nearest other station is Pilot Island, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 11 min later. For tidal currents, see Little Barnwell I., E of, Whale Branch River.
Predictions are based on Fort Pulaski, Savannah River.
