About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Carters Dock, Big Bay Creek from the Fort Pulaski, Savannah River Entrance station: high tides about 0.87× the height, 8 min later; low tides about 0.91× the height, 7 min earlier.
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.
