ⓘ
Sunset is when the sun dips below the horizon. Twilight is a little later — when the sun is 6° below the horizon and usable light for navigating the harbour effectively stops. When the tide is still in after sunset, the sailing window runs until twilight.
It’s a spring tide (HW 2.03 m) — stronger flood and ebb than on a neap. Forecasts suggest rain likely during the high tide.

How these tide times are calculated
Data source
WorldTides harmonic predictions for the North Sea.
Reference station
Immingham (53.6183°N, 0.1817°W).
Prediction point
Morston Quay, Blakeney Harbour — the same clock as Blakeney, with no extra creek offset.
Datum
Chart Datum (CD) at Blakeney Bar. Heights are 1.4 m below the raw Immingham feed so a typical high water reads around 5 m.
Timezone
Europe/London — BST in summer, GMT in winter.
This harbour
Brancaster Staithe is −16 minutes versus the Blakeney baseline for high and low water (about 8 minutes before Burnham Overy). Heights −3.5 m on the western creek chart datum. Window length uses the Blakeney-datum height.
Local knowledge adjustment
Immingham times are shifted so they match the harbour clock used on this coast. Real tides still vary with wind and pressure.
About these Brancaster Staithe times
Brancaster Staithe is the western end of the harbours Morston keeps. High water here is about sixteen minutes before the Blakeney clock, and about eight minutes before Burnham Overy — the next creek east.
Heights share Overy’s western datum, about 3.5 m below Blakeney Bar. The number on the page will look small if you are used to the Pit. The tide is not. The channel still dries, and the sailing club water is its own clock in local heads — this page is the Morston calibration, not a club noticeboard.
A hard northerly on the Brancaster harbour mouth is a different day to a quiet southerly up the staithe. The creek window is daylight around high water. It is not a deep-water harbour.
Common questions
How does Brancaster differ from Burnham Overy?
Same local height datum. Brancaster high water is about eight minutes earlier. If you trail between the two, switch pages — do not split the difference in your head on a short tide.
Are these Brancaster Staithe Sailing Club times?
They are Morston’s calibration for the staithe, from the same BHA-linked offsets as the app. The club may publish its own. Use one clock and stay on it.
Why do heights look low?
Western creek chart datum, about 3.5 m below Blakeney Bar. A spring still has the range of a spring. The channel still goes dry.
Is this for navigation?
No. Planning only. The harbour mouth and the drying channel need your own eye.
