Goes in west direction about an hour before HW /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Sorry thats not much help to you is it.

And the reason is...

Because the tide range at the eastern end is bigger than the western end, at about an hour before high tide the eastern end overtakes the western end. This causes the tide to run east to west with the tide still rising.

Re: And the reason is...

Thanks for the info, yes i was aware of this. My statement / comment was just a general rule of thumb.

Cheers Guys,

could do with my Almanac at work as that's where I seem to do most of my passage planning!

I raised this question on Scuttlebutt prior to the last Bank Holiday weekend.

Seems there aren't available from Uk sources. Bit of a b-gger when you want to do some passage planning at work.

Seems a bit silly doesn't it ? I mean its not as if it changes day to day is it ?

That's what I thought ... Anyone out there with an Almanac/scanner and a spare web page...?

Camper and Nicholson on the "cnmarinas" web site used to have the round the island (IoW) tidal charts on an hourly base. Then they were taken over by Premier Marinas (I think) and they've been discontinued.

So that's progress for you /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif
