About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Old Rice Mill, West Branch from the CHARLESTON (Customhouse Wharf) station: high tides about 0.53× the height, 176 min later; low tides about 1.63× the height, 171 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.
