Times are the middle of each turn. The small times underneath are slack water, when the level stays close to high or low.

Our predictions from the Heysham gauge, 8 km away. Heights are above chart datum, as in tide tables. This uses Environment Agency tide gauge data from the real-time data API (Beta). Not for navigation.
