I'm sure you'll be fine! its probably more due to the wind direction in the North Sea and the moon. looks like rain on Friday but I don't think it has so much effect. The tidal variation isn't quite as severe on the Northern rivers I don't think. If the worst comes to the worst you can always moor at Neatishead and spend the time in the White Horse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hylander Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Wells this morning, 2 hrs to high tide. The tide is creeping across the car park much to this fascination of the local population. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwanR Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I certainly saw the bottom right hand photo on a couple of the Facebook groups last night. I think it was taken at Surlingham Ferry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victoryv Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Have the water levels receded ? hoping to go South tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshman Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 You can go through Yarmouth at any time - but whether your boat will go depends on its clearance!! IF you are going through around slack, my guess is that there will be plenty of room - but it depends on your air draught! Any doubts ring the Yacht Station - they can give a better idea than Forumites living away from the area!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t ask about the passage through Yarmouth I am confident of my boat height and ability, what I would like to know is are the rivers likely to receed once we are south. As I need to get under ph first any other bridge is academic. but thank you anyway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanessan Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 It appears to me that river levels have dropped considerably overnight. Here’s hoping they are now going to get back to ‘normal’. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclemike Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 doen't look like at wroxham, as a guide i look at the bit of fence to the left of the bridge, if the bottom plank is covered its too high for me to get under (6'6")and it is underwater this morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanessan Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Some riverbank that was under water at Womack yesterday evening at high water was not under at high this morning, maybe it hasn’t filtered up to Wroxham yet. I shall remain optimistic! 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
