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 Totland Bay'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 . 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.

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.

At the south end of The Needles Channel the stream runs strongly across The Bridge. Adjacent to Alum and Totland and Colwell bays, the flood sets on The Needles and north-western shore of the island, and the ebb on The Shingles, with great velocity. At the entrance to The Solent the currents run largely in the direction of the channel attaining their greatest rates of 4½ knots between Hurst Point and Fort Albert.
Direction of streams are Portsmouth +0520 north-easterly, -0045 south westerly, with the north-easterly tidal flow peaking at 3.7 knots, 5 hours before high water Portsmouth springs and the south-westerly tidal flow at 3.3 knots, 3 hours after high water. Tide off the Needles is slack 1hr 30mins before HW Portsmouth at springs and 45mins at neaps.
The north-easterly stream runs strongly round Alum Bay, Totland Bay and Colwell Bay, but there is little stream in these bays during the south-westerly stream.
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 Totland Bay offset -01:00.

Headline: Patchy cloud, with fog forming overnight. Drizzle in places.
This Evening and Tonight: Rather cloudy, with extensive low cloud, mist and fog patches forming overnight. The cloud may be thick enough to give some patchy drizzle at times. Staying mild, with light winds. Minimum Temperature 8C.
Wednesday: Early mist, fog and low cloud will be slow to clear during the morning. Staying rather cloudy, with perhaps some limited bright or sunny intervals in the afternoon. Light winds. Maximum Temperature 13C.
Outlook for Thursday to Saturday: Settled conditions persist, mostly cloudy and dry with patchy drizzle on hills. Overnight clear spells may allow fog patches to form, which may be slow to clear. Light winds. Mild.

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 have a rescue helicopter at their 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.
