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 range is large, about 5.4 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 6.8 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 5.7 ft.

Willtown Bluff is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. 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.
