Steve2604 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 We have been visiting the broads twice a year for the last 8 years and before hiring I used to check the tide times at Yarmouth to make sure we could do the Southern Rivers. I could look at the timetable issued by Shorebase and see as far ahead as a couple of years and found it almost bang on. Im currently looking at hiring for next year but it looks like Shorebase is no longer providing a timetable. Is there anywhere else I can find out? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisB Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Buy a set of tide tables. I can vouch for Bittern Books which I use. Take the tides at Gorleston and adjust as follows for The Broads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranworthbreeze Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I still use and prefer the Broads Authority tide tables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve2604 Posted February 26, 2023 Author Share Posted February 26, 2023 Is there one that will help me plan for next year though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Sorry, I did not realise you were referring to 2024. Tides in the UK are based on a time difference on Dover. I am sure for commercial users, tides for next year would be available for Dover. You would then need to make two time adjustments Gorleston on Dover & GYYS on Gorleston.

YnysMon Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I found a website that gives tide times for Dover for 2024... Channel Swimming & Piloting Federation - Tide Tables (cspf.co.uk) I like how this gives times for Moon rise and set too. I found the phases of the moon on another website too. Moon Phases 2024 - Lunar Calendar - Calendarr (I'm not sure why it's spelling it as Calendarr , but it was copied from the web browser.) I couldn't find anything that gave me the tide times for Gorleston though. However, I sort of cut corners by comparing the Dover times with this week's Shorebase Great Yarmouth Yacht Station tides and also compared the tides for those locations for the first week of May. It's a bit confusing, as the difference seems to vary from day to day raging from -2hrs to -2hr45mins. A rough average is around -2hrs 20 mins though, so I'm going to use that as a rough estimate to create my own tide table for March and May next year. If anyone thinks that time lag sounds completely wrong, do let me know. I know it won't be that long before 2024 tide tables are published, but I can't wait! I love planning ahead to our future weeks, including wondering if we are likely to get across Breydon in March. How nerdy can you get! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I have always used minus 2hrs 23 mins as my constant so I would say we concur. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulN Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Afraid to say I always use the tide tables from our Forum's rival which calls themselves 'Official' fro some reason. The tables are excellent for passing under bridges and crossing Breydon as they give low water at various locations and slack water at Great Yarmouth. They are corrected for BST although sunset and sunrise are in GMT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranworthbreeze Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Because of the height of Ranworth Breeze I always use the Broads Authority's tide table which are the only ones that can give me the height of low water at Yarmouth. Other tricks such as counting the ladders rungs at the start Yacht Station moorings, if you can see that 7 rungs are above the water line there is 10 foot clearance under both bridges and Ranworth Breeze needs 9 foot 8 inches with everything down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
