About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Black River (south of Dunbar) from the CHARLESTON (Customhouse Wharf) station: high tides about 0.47× the height, 209 min later; low tides about 0.89× the height, 249 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.
