Tide times Guides Newlyn St Ives Padstow Fowey

Weather matters. These are astronomical predictions only. Wind and air pressure routinely shift real sea levels by 0.25 m — and much more in storms. If you are judging whether a beach, causeway or cove will cut you off, leave a wide margin and check conditions on the day. This site is not an official source and must not be used for navigation.

This uses Environment Agency flood and river level data from the real-time data API (Beta) — Open Government Licence v3. Coastline outline from Natural Earth (public domain).

Heights are in metres above Ordnance Datum (mAOD), not chart datum, so they will not match printed tide tables or BBC tide-table heights. A few minutes of time difference between services is normal because this site uses its own validated harmonic fit from Environment Agency gauge observations. Times shown in UK local time (GMT/BST). Why tide sites differ.
