Next years tides

diverdad · 17 August 2009, 06:30

Hi all, I want to plan some dives pretty far offshore next year, I need to find when the best neap tides are during the summer months.
Is there a web site/ other source of info that can tell me next years predictions so I can book the boat before someone else does?!!

Thanks in advance

Lee.

Where and when do you want information for, and I can give you a pretty good idea

Its not out yet. You have to pre-order and it will be delivered when available.

get a tide disc from Belfield tide plotters. I have it on the computer for the next few years for Europe. Just select the port and off you go without having to be connected to the internet. Graph or tide table display. Around £12-14 I think give or take a bit. Cheaper for UK than uk+europe and can buy code to unlock disc for one years tides or several. I have used it on various deliveries and commercial jobs this year where internet access has not been possible for us-brilliant.

Looks like the period 18-22 August could be favourite (range is projecting at about 2.5m).

Otherwise, days around the time of:

7th or 21st June
7th or 21st July
5th August
