Medway Tide Charts

Until now I’ve been able to download for Sheerness or Chatham on 3 pages.

https://www.peelports.com/media/nhkp0ubx/tide-tables-2025.pdf

Now peel ports have repackaged this to a very long winded booklet that can be yours for £3, or downloaded free. Lots of excellent marine trivia, but a lot harder to hunt down what you’re looking for. Best solution I can manage is print to pdf pages 27 - 85.

Anyone got a neater fix?

Page 104 is interesting.

Yes,
But you get my point, that mileage to Gothenberg isn’t helpful when I want a quick check of the tide at Sheerness?

Yes indeed. I used to find too many errors in the marina booklet, so now use Absolute Tides app only. No idea if Peel use the same data as the marina, but this Peel layout is too cumbersome for me.

Very useful when leaving the Medway or returning past Sheerness the same day.

Surges up and down can make big differences to tide levels - often more than a metre, particularly with NW wind. 'Harwich harbour tides live' shows predicted and actual levels as does the PLA live tide gauges at Southend and other places on Thames which are useful. Moderate negative surge to -0.3m on yesterdays low tide but enough to make a difference crossing sands. We'll have to watch what happens when the SW storm comes through, how low it gets. -0.5m downward surge at 1300.

Thanks Oldgit,

Very neat, lets me print or save to pdf a weeks view in uncluttered format, but I guess I'm going to have to rake through peel ports war and peace for advance planning, or stick with the print outs my club sends, which only state the HW time and depth.
LW is useful to me as I'm sailing a small boat which I like to beach at LW.

As I mentioned to Oldgit I'm sailing a small boat, and I'm aware that the times are approximate and weather affected. But I'm mainly concerned here with planing my life in advance, so these details have to be added in later.

How much of Peel Port's 'war and piece is correct'? If they think Dunkirk is in Belgium, and The Elbe is Dutch, then what else cannot be relied upon?

Ha!

I missed that, and I've just returned with the ferry from Dunkirk after Christmas in Belgium. I definitely crossed the border 20 KM east of Dunkirk, near Adinkerke or Veurne.

I guess the booklet has been put together by an office junior, I suspect, in an effort to hide the previously useful tidetables.

-0.85m downward surge at Harwich yesterday 31 Dec at 1950 (20% lower) -1.33m downward surge at 0130 this morning at Southend - tide held at low for about 4 hours - surprised initially to see such variations quite often, when live tide levels were first on-line - but useful to be aware if planning passage over shallow water - which is most of the Thames Estuary. Later today +0.89m upward surge at Harwich at 10pm 1st Jan so a 1.8m surge difference from yesterday, lowest to highest surge magnitude as the new year storm passed over.

Oh, for the intelligence to understand the system!

But the tide can generally be relied upon to fill my creek twice each day.
