Next weeks tides

[Little Dorrit]

HW of over 5m in Portsmouth next week and very little range at neaps. I stand to be corrected but the highest I have seen this year I think.

 

[burgundyben]

Yes. Very big. 40 years of Solent boating and it still fascinates me.

 

[Lucky Duck]

Mid September's were marginally smaller but still very impressive

 

[peteK]

5 metres is nothing around here,over 10 metres next week,we get 7 metres on a neap tide.

 

[Jamie Dundee]

6.3m the highest I’ve seen here, interesting that LW is -0.2m on the highest tides; ie below LAT.

 

[ProDave]

Tomorrows tide is probably the smallest range I have seen for a neap tide. So much so that our drying harbour won't dry out tomorrow.

But I have seen bigger springs. A few years back we had one where the LW went below chart datum.

Yes I don’t understand how that is possible. We should rename it NLAT.

As I recall 2015 was a notable year for large tides

Coastal areas to get 'biggest high tides' for two decades

They just can’t be arsed changing CD on all the charts ?

Where I am (Lancelin on the West Coast of Australia) we get tides of around 1 meter all year round.

In Broome on the NW Western Australia) coast they get tides around 10 meters. (There must be a technical reason why Broome is not on the chart below?)

The Bay of Fundy Canada gets tides around 11.7 meters (38.4 feet)

Yes I misjudged a little mid September and got grounded at anchor in Poole for a couple of hours. All part of the learning fun

Sunday's tides were 'interesting'

The pay back for 10 knots SOG for about half an hour while passing Dodman's point was barely 1 knot SOG off Hurst's castle and a long old slog just for a pit stop at LYH

Have you noticed you hardly get much lasting benefit from one like the Dodmans, but you get stuck for hours when it's against?
