Times are estimated turning points, derived from an hourly sea-level model series and refined by curve fitting, so treat them as accurate to a few minutes rather than to the second. Heights are shown relative to mean sea level — not to chart datum — so they are not directly comparable with the figures in an Admiralty or NOAA tide table. Tidal range is a difference between two heights, so it is unaffected by the datum. For navigation, always use official hydrographic-office predictions.
