Hi All,

I know we have only just started 2023, but I was looking at dates for a 2024 Broads holiday and wanted to look at the tides to help me decide when to book so that we can include a trip north to south.

Unfortunately, the on line tide table that I normally use, showing LW Gt. Yarmouth and the slack water passage time, only goes to the end of 2023.

Does anyone know of an online tide table for the broads that goes in to 2024?

Thanks,

David

Hi, Helen would the Tide Table include the Moon that rises the Tide also the weather such as the wind directions from the Sea and:default_badday:when it does bloomy eck?

No, obviously not.  We can’t even get an accurate weather forecast for next week, never mind next year.As far as I’m aware, the tides are governed by the Earth’s position in relation to the Moon and the Sun, although I stand to be corrected.  These can be predicted months into the future, but sadly, the weather can’t.

What month are you looking at? Most of the season there's a low water comfortably in daylight so the date wouldn't matter.

Probably around Easter, we are a bit restricted by school holidays, so daylight might be a bit limited and want to jus see if one week will work better than another, if that makes sense.

Yes I guess it does make a difference, not so much whether you'll be able to pass through but how many options you have on the day in question. I'm hiring early April this year and intending going south. When we return north, low water is around 6pm I think so we'll have to either go through a bit early or spend the night at the Yacht Station.

We are also booked for early April this year, I suspect it may be the same week. Getting south is easy, but coming back north is a bit more restrictive.

Always worth seeking the advice of the Attendants at G_Y the day before your passage ( either direction ) as they have the latest info compared with tour boat height

I have come across a site that predicted moon rise and set. Trouble is…I can’t remember which site it was. (DOH!)
I’m mainly focussed on whether there might be some moonlight or not on an evening/morning. Makes a huge difference if you are night nav’ing.

Not sure if I’m misreading this as I’m looking at it on my phone, but if I’m not mistaken, broads.org tide tables have now been update until 2028 (be aware GMT only from 2024). 
I know some folk were asking about them. 
I printed some tables off for my next few trips only two or three days ago and it said up to 2023 then, very recent. 
Sorry if I’ve got it wrong, but worth a look for anyone needing to know.

Just checked yep the 2024 tide timetable appears to be online but showing GMT, so the 3 Rivers Race, starts on 1st June 2024, at 11:00 local time with low tide at 14:50 local. I suspect many will go for the lower Bure buoy first.

Sorry, I am late to the party on this, thanks for the update, it looks as though the norfolk-broads.org tide tables have been updated to 2028 now.

But beware.  All times from the beginning of 2024 are GMT, with no seasonal adjustment for BST.
