tide times ?

Post by THE MOLE »

might be on a blackpool run tomoz, have checked the low tide time and its 8.45, im assuming this is when its at it farthest point ? so dose that mean you would get on the beach before that when the sea is on its way out.

cheers neil.

tide times for blackpool,

to detect a low tide, its best to arrive 1-2 hours before low tide, and detect it out, and remember when the tide is out at 08:45, you have about 1 hour of out time, before the tide turns again to start coming back in.
thanks trojan, so going off the times am i right in thinking its going to take around 6 hours to get fully back in ?

I usually start at high tide line and follow the tide out. Your probably best doing same at Blackpool, cos its a very flat beach, once tide turns it comes in quite quickly. Then again its such a big beach there it takes a long time to cover it. Your choice, happy hunting :D
