Looe Channel - favourable passage

[David52]

Afternoon all.

Just a quick question as I am sat in my office and away from my pilot book... Weather seems Ok enough to plan the weekend and wanted to head east from the Solent - just cant remember the best state of tide to take the Looe Channel - I recall 2.5 hours before high tide but cant remember if that's a good or a bad time.

Any one got a handy tidal atlas? Would like to know so I can spend the rest of the afternoon planning a trip rather than be distracted by work.

Thanks,

GB

±2.5 hours HW - As you want to go E, 2.5h b4 seems to be the ticket. Warning in pilot book - E going stream sets onto Outer Owers.

Done this four times in the last week! ( dont ask!)

East going stream starts around HW Portsmouth + 0430.
West going steam starts HW Portsmouth - 0130
