Where these windows come from
Every window above was published by somebody else. We put it next to the tide and the forecast; we did not decide it. If you are hiring, the people you hire from will know the day’s conditions better than any forecast does.
- Burnham Overy Staithe
- local sailing and kayaking guidance — “roughly two hours before to two hours after high water”
- Brancaster Staithe
- Brancaster Staithe Sailing Club — “events held in a drying harbour organised 2-3 hours either side of high tide” · source
- Blakeney
- the Blakeney Harbour Association — “shoal-draft boats reach the harbour about an hour either side of high water on springs”
About the wind figures
The wind here is a forecast for ten metres above the ground, on a grid whose cells are wider than the gaps between these places — so neighbouring locations often share one figure. It is not a measurement at the water’s edge, and it knows nothing about shelter behind the dunes or how much harder it blows further out.
