Introduction

It is important to be aware of tide times on beaches and ports to keep yourself and others safe.

Tide times tell you what time the water will be at its highest point (high tide) and at its lowest point (low tide).

Burnham on Sea, Berrow and Brean beaches

The beaches at Burnham on Sea, Berrow and Brean have very high tidal ranges and are some of the highest in the world.

Port of Bridgwater

The Port is significantly affected by the large tidal rise and fall some 12 metres on a big spring tide which will affect navigation both in the port area and approaches to the Port. Port of Bridgwater weather Station at Burnham-on-Sea.
