Shape, not depth. This traces the tide’s rise and fall — not a ruler on the water. Heights are the size of the tide, not the depth of the water here: metres above chart datum at our Immingham reference, carried to this port by a time offset with no height ratio. The shaded band around each high water is the published ±30-minute accuracy window, not a claimed minute.

High and low tide times for Morston over the next seven days, split into early and late, in local time. High waters are accurate to ±30 minutes and low waters to ±60 minutes. Heights are metres above chart datum at the Immingham reference, not the depth of water here.

Two high waters most days, roughly twelve hours apart. Each high water is accurate to ±30 min. Low water is worked out from the high waters either side of it, so it is a wider estimate — ±60 min — and is shown smaller for that reason. “Spring” tides run higher and faster than “neap”.

Heights are the size of the tide, not the depth of the water here. They are metres above chart datum at Immingham, our reference port — we carry a timing offset to Morston but no height ratio, so a big number does not mean a deep creek.

What the tide controls here

At Morston, the tide controls when the seal boats run, when boats can reach the quay, and whether the quayside car park floods.

Seal trips: Departure times move with the tide every day. Beans Boats ask you to arrive 30 minutes before your slot. Beans Boat Trips →
Quay access: The Blakeney Harbour Association put access to Morston Quay at about two hours either side of high water, for shoal-draft boats. Blakeney Harbour Association →
Parking: The National Trust warn the quayside car parks are liable to flooding — take note of the signs on a big tide. National Trust →

15% of people in the UK and Ireland have been cut off — or nearly cut off — by the tide in their lifetime (RNLI/Bangor University, April 2025). A calendar you don’t have to remember to check is one less thing to get wrong.

Dangers here

Specific to this location. The sea is dangerous everywhere on this coast — this is what the tide does here.

The quayside car park floods

The National Trust warn that the quayside car parks are liable to flooding and ask visitors to take note of the signs. On a big tide, where you leave the car matters.

How this time is worked out

Every time on this page is high water at Immingham, shifted by 65 minutes for Morston, and published as a ±30 minute window.

Worked out from nearby coast. No tidal station of any kind exists here. This offset is reasoned from Blakeney, a short way further up the same harbour.

How we work out every time on this site

This is a prediction of the astronomical tide. It cannot know what the weather is doing, and wind, pressure and surge all move real water. It is one input to a decision you make — never the decision itself.
