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 for this spot, blended from the Ullapool and Tobermory tide gauges either side. Heights are above the year's lowest tide. This uses Environment Agency tide gauge data from the real-time data API (Beta). Not for navigation.

Next four weeks

The first week includes the weather. After that it's a tide outlook: tide, light, tide size, season and moon, with the weather added once the forecast reaches each day.
