What are tide graphs?

Tide graphs provide a visual representation of how the predicted sea level changes throughout the day at a particular coastal location.

Instead of viewing tide times and heights only as a list of figures, a tide graph allows you to see the overall pattern of the rising and falling tide throughout the day.

Tide graphs can make it easier to identify periods of high tide and low tide and understand the changing tidal range at a location. They can be particularly useful when planning activities such as coastal walks, beach visits, fishing and boating.

As with other tide information on UK Tide Times, tide graphs show predicted tides rather than guaranteed measurements of the actual sea level.
