† Cowes experiences two high waters on some days — the table shows the first of the pair for a consistent 4-tide layout. See the note on double high water for detail.

* Time and height interpolated between neighbouring real tide stations — approximate, for casual planning only, not navigation. See how this is worked out.

‡ Only 3 tides today, not 4 — expected, not missing data. The real tidal cycle (about 12h25m between successive highs) is slightly longer than 24 hours, so roughly every couple of weeks a day's 4th tide lands just after midnight and counts toward the next day instead. See more detail.

Beach icons show sandy beaches, where shells can be found, and confirmed lifeguard cover — see the icon key on the beach guide page.
