About the tides at Willtown Bluff
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.6 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at Fort Pulaski, Savannah River. The range is large, about 5.7 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 6.2 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 25, with a range of 6.8 ft. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 3.8 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 7.4 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −1.8 ft on January 23.
Willtown Bluff is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Fort Pulaski, Savannah River: highs come about 94 min and lows about 123 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1977 to 1979 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Hope Creek, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 12 min later. For tidal currents, see Smuggedy Swamp, South Edisto River.
Predictions are based on Fort Pulaski, Savannah River.
