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. Future tidal planning is best accomplished by using Seaview's future tides predictor below.
The above image represents the current tidal streams offshore of this haven. Streams attaining three knots and above are highlighted by red arrows
Do you need more information on the tidal graphics?
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.

During Springs High Water Seaview is 20 minutes after High Water Portsmouth and Low Water is 1 hour after LW Portsmouth. During Neaps High Water Seaview is the same as High Water Portsmouth and Low Water Neaps are 20 minutes after.
Tidal streams run generally in the direction of the channel, both north and south of Ryde Middle. +0420 HW Portsmouth (Dover +0445) they run ESE, –0130 HW Portsmouth (Dover -0105) they run WNW. The maximum east going rate during Springs is 2 kn and Neaps is 1 kn. The maximum west north west going rates are 2½ kn and 1¼kn, respectively.

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 Ryde offset -01:00.

Headline: Becoming cloudy
This Evening and Tonight: Some clear spells to start, but becoming generally cloudy through the evening. A few showers likely affecting parts of Kent and Sussex, but most other areas remaining dry. Rather breezy inland, but windy on coasts, making it feel quite cold. Minimum Temperature 1C.
Friday: Mostly cloudy with showers spreading northwest, these perhaps wintry, especially on higher ground. Remaining rather breezy inland, and windy on coasts, with a continuing cold feel. Maximum Temperature 5C.
Outlook for Saturday to Monday: Cold and mostly cloudy through this period, with rain or showers at times, these sometimes wintry especially on higher ground. Occasionally windy, accentuating the cold feel.

Coastguard on VHF Channel 16 and this should only be used for distress and urgency calls. Most coastal areas have a good phone signal making it possible to dial 999 or 112 and ask for the coastguard. HM Coastguards Solent area ‘Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre’ MRCC is situated at Lee-on-Solent; MMSI is 002320011. The centre is manned 24x7 and has a rescue helicopter at its disposal. They keep a watch on VHF Ch 16 and also Ch 67 that can be used for routine communications. Solent Coastguard broadcasts a weather forecast on Ch 86 and Ch 23 once an initial announcement has been made on Ch 16. Bembridge has an Auxiliary RNLI Station that extends into the sea to the east of the village.
Whilst operating in the Solent it is advisable to maintain a radio watch on the port working frequency of Channel 12 used by Southampton Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) and shipping. Every 2 hours from 0610-2210 there will be a broadcast on Channel 14, pre-empted by a transmission on Channel 12, giving information on large ship movements, local weather conditions and any new Navigational Warnings.
