I can get 7 days on the web but how do I find the tide predictions for Milford Haven on the 7,8,9th December.

The site you linked to, "mobile graphics" is way off the Easy Tide predictions for Belfast this week. Frankly, so far off as to be daft/dangerous. It lists 2 Belfast NI sites which do not agree with each other but with small variations.

Blowed if I can see anything that far out.. less than 10 mins variation in times between the two in my link, Easy Tide and POL
Up to 0.2 m variation on heights but no more as far as I can see.

Instead of criticising how about answering the OP's question with some more accurate predictions for Dec 7, 8 & 9.

WXTide (the old one)
Which gives the same figures as the link I gave earlier in the thread!

Not just so close as to be "daft/dangerous" but EXACTLY the same.
 
"Buy Belfield. It's not expensive and works well. You can print out monthly tidetables for the validity of your package".

I use always Belfield for advance planning BUT there are frequent discrepancies from Easytide data, while some useful ports are not covered at all.
 
I use wxtide32. http://www.wxtide32.com/

Based in Pembrokeshire and all predictions from this neat little program for Milford Haven have been accurate. No connection, just really pleased with it.

Been using this for the last 3 years, free to download and accurate, you can also print the monthly tides as a text document.

Now when some one tells me a system that only uses part of the tidal equation is accurate I just start to wonder. Even UKHO dat is not accurate as there are several unpredictable comp[anents in the calculation, in particular wind and barometric pressure. Does WXtide have inputs for those factors?
 
This is an hello from France

I’m member of a French cruising association named… Sail-The-World whose website is well known in my country.

Since ten years I develop free tide prediction software for Windows named “Marées dans le Monde” (That means “Tides in the World”). One more software of this kind, will you think, and you probably will be right. The last version of this utility is translated in English. That could be an occasion to develop exchanges between the French and Anglo-Saxon sailing peoples.

The latest version of this freeware presents three advantages.

The harmonic constituents database comes from a merger of those contained in previous versions of this software (900 main stations) and in the famous freeware WXTide32. In fact Xtide is rather inaccurate when used in France. My own database is much fitted for navigation along the European Atlantic Coast (The nicest place for sailing in the World, every French sailor knows that!)

The user interface is very easy. For example, if you have previously scanned tide current charts this version of the software can display them according to the time. When you drop anchor, Marées dans le Monde computes the minimum depth required to avoid any risk of smelling the ground or grounding. The software calculates the time when the ground dries if we plan to careen or what will be the maximum depth, so you know how much anchor chain you have to pay out.

Through the authorization of the LEGOS (Laboratoire d’Etudes en Géophysique et Océanographie Spatiale), you have the opportunity to exploit the results of satellite observations initiated by the projects TOPEX / POSEIDON, ERS-1 and ERS-2 (European Remote Sensing Satellites) relayed now by JASON satellites. These instruments were used to calculate the FES 2004 Solutions that constitute a worldwide network distributed on a 1/8° grid in longitude and latitude, therefore you are always within 4 miles of a point that can be considered as a main station. That the first time when software designed for the general public uses such a database, but that could be more frequent in the future, and that could be useful in remote areas where no tide gauge data is available.

To make your own opinion it is possible to download this software at the following address, try it!
