About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Jenkins Creek, Polawana Island from the Fort Pulaski, Savannah River Entrance station: high tides about the same height, 55 min later; low tides about 1.05× the height, 27 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.
