About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Bluffton from the Fort Pulaski, Savannah River Entrance station: high tides about 1.16× the height, 60 min later; low tides about 1.05× the height, 37 min later.

Georgia and the Carolinas run the biggest ranges on the Southeast coast — 7 to 10 ft through marsh creeks and barrier-island inlets that rearrange themselves with every storm.
