The moon and tides at Grange-Over-Sands

Waxing gibbous

83% illuminated, waxing

The moon is a waxing gibbous, 83% lit and still growing towards full. The next full moon is in 5 days, on Friday 28 August.

The moon's monthly cycle drives the size of the tides here. Around the new moon and full moon, the sun and moon line up so their gravity adds together, producing the largest swing between low and high. Those are spring tides. Around the first and last quarter, the sun and moon pull at right angles and partly cancel out, producing the smallest swing. Those are neap tides.

The next spring tide peaks in 28 days, on Sunday 20 September, at 4.5 metres. The next neap tide bottoms out in 4 days, on Thursday 27 August, at 2.6 metres.

Today at Grange-Over-Sands is a spring tide, with a range of 4.6 metres between low and high water. That swing is driven by the moon and sun pulling in the same direction.

The panel at the top of the page shows the next four turns of the tide for whichever date is selected in the calendar. Each row is one extreme: a "High" or "Low", the time it happens in local time, and the predicted height in metres above chart datum.

The 7 days tab lays the next week out as columns, one per day, with each day's tides stacked top to bottom in the order they happen. The 30 days tab switches to a calendar-row layout for planning further ahead. Both pick up from whatever date the calendar is on.

Tides at most UK ports are semidiurnal: two highs and two lows roughly twelve hours and twenty-five minutes apart. A few stations have a double high water (Poole and Southampton are the well-known ones) or a much smaller secondary peak. If a day in the table only shows three turns instead of four, it's because one of them sat just outside midnight at one end of the day.

The size of the swing between low and high changes through the month, following the spring and neap cycle. The Grange-Over-Sands page flags spring and neap days automatically when one is selected in the calendar.

Tide height in metres for Grange-Over-Sands over the next 7 days. Hover the chart to read off a precise time and height.

The chart plots the predicted water level at Grange-Over-Sands as a smooth curve over the next seven days. Each peak is a high water; each trough is a low water. The shaded bands separate days, and a faint "now" marker shows where the current time falls along the curve.

Hover the chart and a tracker line snaps to the nearest hour, with a tooltip giving the exact time and height. The numbers on the left axis are the height in metres above chart datum, on the same scale as the values in the tide table.

Weeks where the peaks are tall and the troughs deep are spring tides. Weeks where the curve bunches towards the middle are neaps. Predictions are computed from astronomical constituents, so the same shape carries forward as far as the data allows.

Common questions about Grange-Over-Sands tide times

When is the next high tide at Grange-Over-Sands?
The next high tide is shown in the panel at the top of the page, with the exact time and predicted height in metres above chart datum. Today's full set of tide times is in the table below the calendar.
How big is the tidal range at Grange-Over-Sands?
The mean range here is around 3.7 metres between consecutive low and high water. Peak spring tides push that up to roughly 5.2 metres. Neap tides bring it down by about half.
What time zone are these tide times in?
Times follow UK local time, so they are GMT in winter and BST through the summer.
Why does high tide happen at a different time each day?
Tides follow the moon, not the sun. The moon takes about 24 hours and 50 minutes to come back to the same point overhead, so each high water happens roughly 50 minutes later than the day before.
Can I use these tide times for sailing or coastal planning?
No. These are astronomical predictions for general reference and educational use only. Don't rely on this site, or any tide table, for sailing, navigation, swimming, fishing, or any decision where the water level matters for safety. Use official sources and a current marine forecast instead.
