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 Bournemouth gauge, 14 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.
