About the tides at Rt. 170 bridge

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Rt. 170 bridge, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The average range is about 3.4 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most South Carolina stations on this site. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 4.2 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 3.6 ft.

Rt. 170 bridge is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Cook Landing Cemetery, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 3 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Port Wentworth, 0.2 mile above.
