Parkgate high tides question (1 Viewer)

[David Smith]

I see there is a 10.01 tide forecast for NEXT Thursday (think thats the 22nd) at mid-day.

On the radio last week I definitely heard someone say there is a 10.80 due soon.
Is that accurate?
If so what date & time is it due?

I have googled it but it only gives up to 28 days in the future. AS yet I dont have the 12 month booklet that I will purchase next week.

Thursday, January 22, 10•1m @ 1215
Friday, January 23, 10•1m @ 1300

Thursday, February 19, 10•0m @ 1110

Thank you very much.
So...........the 10.80 seems to be fiction??

10.8 sounds to me way too big to be true!

It'll depend very much on the wind direction and atmospheric pressure. I'm pretty sure there have been almost 11 metre tides in recent years when the wind blows it in from the N W.

The great December storm must have created one of the biggest storm surges and completely flooded the Dee Marshes.
