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 range is large, about 7.9 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 today, with a range of 9.6 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 8.3 ft.
RR. Bridge is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. 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.
