The only noticeable double lows in this area are in Poole Harbour. The Table that Alex has is for Portland Port. The Port is approximately 7 miles from Portland bill on the east side of the island. Therefore high tide should be slightly later at This point. It would also be different on the west side of the island, and the Fleet Lagoon is again totally different, but I will not go into that as its out of bounds in the competition. The point is the further you are from Portland bill or your point at which the tide times are given, the earlier or later the tide times will be.The double low Im guessing Alex![]()
I stand corrected!Sorry Tom your wrong. The only noticeable double lows in this area are in Poole Harbour. The Table that Alex has is for Portland Port.

It would also be different on the west side of the island, and the Fleet Lagoon is again totally different, but I will not go into that as its out of bounds in the competition.

The tides here are relatively small compared to other parts of the country. Spring tides here are 2 meters with a 2.3 to 2.5 being a monster tide. Neaps are around 1.1 meters. Lows can become a - 0.4 on springs with a neap being a 0.4.
The differences around the island are only around ten to fifteen minutes. But on spring tides these times will be shorter. Also remember that the tide continues to flood for between 2.5 to 3.5 hours after high tide. Then you have slack water before the tide turns and the ebb begins to flow.
I hope this helps.

Excellent Nath. Might have to take you up on that......I'll do my own research & then see how that compares to what you say. Cheers. TobyJust like Steve said it's the taking part, I will gladly tell anyone what I know, and where to fish.
just don't advertise it on here, it's my local mark!Just like Steve said it's the taking part, I will gladly tell anyone what I know, and where to fish.
