Questions and answers

How does the Broad River near Beaufort compare with last year?

It is 0.82 ft lower than on the same day last year, when the reading was 0.98 ft.

On Oct 20, 2026, 12:45 AM EDT, the water level was 0.16 ft. Down 2.20 ft over the last 24 hours.

Is Broad River near Beaufort rising or falling?

Down 2.20 ft over the last 24 hours. Down 0.52 ft over the last 7 days.

Is the level of Broad River near Beaufort normal?
