Tidal range online (looking for Oban)

[Amulet]

Anywhere I can get the neap and spring tidal ranges online? Doing a calculation at home, almanac on the boat.

Failing a generic web site, can anyone give me neap and spring ranges for Oban?

Yes, I should know for my home port!

Go to Puffin Dive Centre on line, and all will be revealed.

A quick shufti through Laver's suggests 2,8m springs, 1.5m neaps.

By happy coincidence I am currently tied up in the marina on Kerrera, which on an hour's experience seems like a nice place. Is the food here any good?

According to my 1990 Martin Lawrence, the numbers are:
MHWS 4.0
MHWN 2.9
MTL 2.4
MLWN 1.8
MLWS 0.7

So different answers from Lavers (what's that?) and I don't think you can get what you wanted readily from Easytide or the Puffin tide tables.

Lavers is the wee booklet timetables that are available in chandlers for about £2 or so

Jolly good. I was only planning a night, but it looks as if I need to be on-line and in phone range on Wednesday morning, so dinner here tomorrow night looks like a good idea.

Can't point you to a website, but according to Reeds the mean ranges for Oban are Springs 3.3m and Neaps 1.1m.

The wee booklet is, I think, published by the Oban Times, and appears with all sorts of different covers. Many are given out as advertising freebies by businesses. Puffin have it online.

Publishing house in Liverpool who supply chandleries etc with tide tables. I used to get mine as a freebie from George Hulley.

My favourite is on BBC website, takes a bit of finding perhaps type in tides on their site. It displays tidal curves but has a handy cursor that shows time and tide at a slide of finger.
