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 →
Flood warnings: The Environment Agency issues tidal flood warnings for this stretch of coast. Check live warnings →

Wind, and what it does to these times

ECMWF IFS 0.25° · issued Tue 13:00

At high water

Wind: Force 4 SW13 kn, gusting 19
Rain: Dry0.00 mm this window
Sea: 0.9 m6s period
Temp: 11°C8% cloud

Expect the water to be higher than the prediction alone.

Pressure is 1000.5 hPa — on its own worth roughly 13 cm of extra height.

Humidity 92%.

Fog risk: possible.

At low water

Wind: Force 4 SSE12 kn, gusting 15
Rain: Dry0.00 mm this window
Sea: 0.7 m5s period
Temp: 12°C78% cloud

Expect the water to be close to the prediction. The wind is pushing water back out, so this may run to the later part of the window.

Pressure is 998.9 hPa — on its own worth roughly 14 cm of extra height.

Humidity 87%.

Fog risk: possible.

This does not move the times above. We publish a window rather than a single minute precisely because weather moves real water, and we have never measured how far it moves it here. Which half of the window to lean toward is a judgement, not a calculation. How we work these out

Rows past the first three days are an outlook, not a forecast — the model publishes them at half the resolution and they are far more likely to change before the day arrives.

⚠️ A 0.25° grid is roughly one cell for this coast. These are the conditions over the area, not the wind in a particular creek.

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 62 minutes for Morston, and published as a ±30 minute window.

Worked out from nearby coast. Not checked against a tide gauge directly — there is no gauge here. Derived from Wells, the only location on this coast we can check directly: this timing shares Wells’ gauge-measured, tide-size-dependent correction rather than having its own. Morston’s tidal creek is longer than Wells’, so this assumption is weaker here than elsewhere on this coast.

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.
