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
Morston Quay uses the Blakeney baseline: BHA high water (Hull Albert Dock + 28 min), with no extra harbour shift. Heights are Chart Datum at Blakeney Bar. A typical high water reads around 5 m.
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 Morston Quay times

Morston Quay is where most people leave the car and walk out. The times on this page are the Blakeney Harbour clock — the same high water the Blakeney Harbour Association prints for the Pit and the Bar. There is no extra creek offset for Morston.

That matters when you are timing a tender off the quay, or the walk to a mooring in the Pit. High water here is not Blakeney Quay. The quay up at the village is about fifteen minutes later, further up the Glaven.

On smaller tides there is simply less water in the Pit. The sailing window is the usable-light period around high water — about two hours either side, a little longer after high water on 5.5 m tides, and it runs to twilight if the tide is still in after sunset.

Common questions

Are Morston Quay and Blakeney Harbour the same times?
Yes. Morston Quay, Blakeney Pit and Blakeney Bar share the harbour clock on this site. You launch from Morston; the water you sail is the harbour. Blakeney Quay is the different one — about 15 minutes later.
When should I leave the Morston car park?
Use the sailing window and the next high water, then add your own walk to the boat. Morston does not add a creek lag — the clock is the harbour clock. Real water still moves with wind and pressure.
What is the Morston sailing window?
The usable-light period around high water for harbour sailing from Morston — about ±2 hours, with an extra half hour after high water on 5.5 m tides. If the tide is still in after sunset, the window runs until twilight.
Is this for navigation?
No. Planning only. There is no guarantee of accuracy — check the harbour yourself and never rely on an app alone on the water.
