About the tides at Village Creek Entrance
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Village Creek Entrance, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Fort Pulaski, Savannah River. With a mean range of about 6.0 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 8.4 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 4.5 ft, on Monday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 8.3 ft on October 27 and bottom out at −1.8 ft on January 23.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Fort Pulaski, Savannah River, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Edding Point, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 14 min later. For tidal currents, see Parrot Creek, Coosaw Island.
Predictions are based on Fort Pulaski, Savannah River.
