Where this tide comes from
Latchingdon and Snoreham has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Southend (Environment Agency), 11 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.
Station data attribution: This uses Environment Agency flood and river level data from the real-time data API (Beta): Southend (0019), https://environment.data.gov.uk/flood-monitoring/id/stations/0019. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/). Modified: harmonic constants fitted by TidePlanet from the measured tidal levels of 2025-10-29 to 2026-10-22 (356 days).
