ⓘ
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 light rain possible 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
Burnham Overy is BHA Hull Albert Dock + 20 min (−8 min versus Blakeney) for high and low water. Heights −3.5 m onto the western creek chart datum. Window length uses the Blakeney-datum height so a spring is still a spring.
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 Burnham Overy Staithe times
Burnham Overy Staithe sits on a drying creek behind Holkham. The Blakeney Harbour Association sets Overy high water at Hull Albert Dock + 20 minutes — eight minutes before the Blakeney clock. High and low water on this page both take that shift.
Heights are on the western creek datum, about 3.5 m below Blakeney Bar. A familiar 5.5 m spring at Morston reads around 2 m here. The tide has not vanished; the zero is different. The creek still goes away. On a neap you will wait, or walk.
This is dinghies, tenders, and the walk out over the marsh — not the Pit. Brancaster Staithe is the next creek west, about eight minutes earlier still. Do not run Overy times at Brancaster, or Blakeney times in the Overy creek.
Common questions
Does the creek dry?
Yes. Overy is a drying staithe. The window is when there is usable water around high water in daylight — not a promise you can leave a boat in at low water.
Why are the heights so much lower than Morston?
Western creek datum. Take about 3.5 m off a Blakeney Bar height. Judge the day by the range and by the creek in front of you, not by comparing the raw number to a Pit spring.
Is this the same as Brancaster Staithe?
No. Brancaster is about eight minutes earlier, same local datum. Close, not the same. Use the Brancaster page if you are on that staithe.
Is this for navigation?
No. The creek and the bar change. Planning only, and no guarantee of accuracy.
