Small tidal stream inaccuracies can develop when advancing beyond HW Portsmouth +6. Because of this we only enable today's tidal stream chartlets to advance 24 hours. Sorry, future tides are not currently available for Hamble River Harbour Master. Please check Admiralty EasyTide.
The above image represents the current tidal streams offshore of this haven. Streams attaining three knots and above are highlighted by red arrows . All times are in local time with red text indicating springs, blue indicating neaps and gray between tidal events. Click [+] to advance the estimate by an hour and click [-] to step back.
Sorry, future tides are not currently available for Hamble River Harbour Master. Please use Admiralty EasyTide to predict tide times and heights for the upcoming 7 days. Alternatively use our Christchurch to predict the English Channel's tidal streams, or our Cowes entry for those of The Solent, for up to 18 months in the future.

Arrows represent the direction of tidal streams with lighter or shorter arrows indicating weaker streams. Stronger streams are indicated by heavier or longer arrows, and as mentioned above, red arrows flagging rates of 3 knots and above. Numerals represent [mean neap, mean spring] rates in tenths of a knot. For example the numbers 12,23 would indicate a mean neap of 1.2 knots and a mean spring of 2.3 knots.
More local tidal details
Today's WARSASH tides — High waters: 04:27, 16:46, Low waters: 10:34, 23:07Today's Dover tides — High waters: 05:25, 17:41, Low waters: 10:45, 23:16
We are now approaching the next tidal event that will be Springs.
MHWS 4.5m MHWN 3.8m MLWN 1.9m MLWS 0.8m
Standard Port Southampton Mean Tidal Ranges Springs 4.0m; Neaps 1.9m.
During Springs High Water, Warsash at the head of the river, is 10 minutes after HW Southampton and Low Water is the same as LW Southampton. During Neaps High Water Warsash is 20 minutes after High Water Southampton and Low Water is 10 minutes afterwards.
Double High Water occurs at or near Springs and there is a stand, which can last as long as two hours at other times. Estimates presented are for the first High Water during Springs or the middle of the stand outside of this.
Helmsmen should note the double high tide or stand means the ebb tide has to complete its cycle in 3-4 hours instead of the usual 5 + hours. This means that the rate of the ebb will be significantly greater than the preceding flood tide. This rate could also be increased by land water, after heavy rain, flowing in the river. Be very careful moving into complicated berths on the ebb. Where possible it is best to entirely avoid berthing manoeuvres on the first flush of the ebb especially so during Springs.
This tool can be used to estimate future costal tidal streams for this area. All that is required are two simple steps:
Step 1: What is the Dover High Water for the target date?
Use a current Dover Tide Table to find Dover High Water for the target date. The National Oceanography Centre offers online tidal predictions for up to 28 days from today. Click here to open their tide table for Dover
Step 2: Input the target date's Dover High Water
Taking a mean tidal offset from Dover's tide, we expect your targetted date's associated local tide at to be:
High waters: Low waters:
Data based on an average tide is only accurate to within one hour, if you more precise times are required use the ISA tidal predictions, with WARSASH offset -01:00.
Feel free to use our calendar, below, to predict 'Future Tidal Streams' as normal. These are displayed in local time and need no adjustment.

Contacting Coastguard and Emergency Services
Coastguard should only be used for distress and urgency calls as follows:
The National Maritime Operations Centre (NMOC) based Fareham handles all operations in the area from Sussex, Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Dorset and Devon. They also assist other authorities such as the Police, Fire and Ambulance with their specialist expertise. The centre is manned 24x7 and has helicopters, based at rescue bases in Portland or Lee-On-Solent, at their disposal. Ch.67 that can be used for routine communications and the National Maritime Operations Centre can be contacted directly on +44 23 8032 9486 for administrative enquiries only.
Phone 999 when it is a Police emergency, such as when a crime is in progress, someone suspected of a crime is nearby, when there is a danger to life or when violence is being used or threatened. Phone 101, the police non-emergency number, when it's less urgent than a 999 call.
