About the tides at Wiggins

Wiggins has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The pattern follows the reference station at Fort Pulaski, Savannah River. The range is large, about 6.0 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 6.6 ft. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 7.1 ft. Neap tides follow on October 19, when the range shrinks to 3.8 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 7.8 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −2.1 ft on January 23.

Wiggins is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Fort Pulaski, Savannah River: highs come about 105 min and lows about 80 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1977 to 1979 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Fields Point, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 3 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Combahee River, S. of Fields Point.

Predictions are based on Fort Pulaski, Savannah River.
