The best window, 12:50 pm to 2:10 pm, combines the 1:11 pm low tide and a major period, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 12:20 am to 1:50 am, with the 12:47 am low tide and a major period, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 6:20 am to 7:40 am, with the 6:47 am high tide and sunrise, though with rising pressure and moderate wind.

The water rises and falls 20.9 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides.

Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

West Marsh has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Immingham (Environment Agency), 5.6 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 tide gauge data from the real-time data API (Beta): Immingham (E71124), https://environment.data.gov.uk/flood-monitoring/id/stations/E71124. 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 15-minute sea levels of 2025-10-29 to 2026-10-22 (356 days).

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at West Marsh

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: calm (rippled)

Calm (rippled) Douglas 1 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 0.2 ft · 2.6 s from the southwest (230°)

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.1 ft
  • Significant0.2 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest0.4 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.4 ft.

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.

Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 12:22–2:22 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 12:54–2:54 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:00–11:00 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 4:41–5:41 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity

According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.
