Not super familiar with the current there at the mouth of the Cooper, but could an incoming tide pushed his body up there if say he went over the railing at the battery?

Could the wake from an incoming/outgoing cargo ship have beached him there?

Not sure this link will work, but it looks like high tide was at 12:04 a.m. so if he went into the water around 3 a.m. it wouldn've been on the outgoing tide, meaning he would've needed to go into the Cooper River and not the Ashley which is nearer his place because he would've missed the island.

Outgoing tide, yes. And it is not far at all.

No, they pass on the other side of the island.

This guy got hammered and fell in the water and drowned.
