Since the Home Office / Admiralty wants to charge us (https://easytide.ukho.gov.uk/EasyTide/EasyTide/index.aspx) for tide times / make you register with their site / not give tides more than 6 days in advance, I went looking for alternatives. Thanks to the wonders of free software there is a marvellous program called xtide which makes pretty graphs and predictions for anywhere, anytime, for free.

It's installed in various places; try

or

https://www.mobilegeographics.com:81/zones/:Europe/London

for starters. Alternatively, google "xtide server". It even does whole months at a time.

Not long. Had to turn adblock off to see it again, I normally let it hide them all.

Thank you for the link. Excellent link. I usually have to go down to the local council offices and get a copy of the tide times. Then it only gives high tide times and you have to add x hours to summer times etc..

Thanks for that Mat, Was getting exasperated by the easytide website to be honest.

The BBC does good tide times as well in the weather section.
