About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Otter Island from the Fort Pulaski, Savannah River Entrance station: high tides about 0.87× the height, 4 min later; low tides about 0.95× the height, 7 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.
