Beaufort River Tides
The default location is the Beaufort River at the downtown waterfront, beside Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park. The water there rises and falls about 6½ feet on an average day and close to 10 feet on the biggest tides of the year, and high tide comes about an hour later than on Hilton Head’s ocean beaches, because the tide takes time to work up the sounds and rivers from the ocean.
Fripp Island Tides
For Fripp Island, pick Fripp Island & Fripps Inlet in the location menu. That station sits on the ocean side, at the bridge between Hunting Island and Fripp, so its tides run about 20 minutes earlier than Hilton Head’s beaches and more than an hour ahead of downtown Beaufort. Next door, the Hunting Island tide chart covers the park’s beaches. Driving up for the day? See the Beaufort day trip.
