Hi all,
I'm looking for something like a long-term tide information sheet for Donna Nook. So far I've only found information for one month, but perhaps one of you could help me out with a website or PDF for the whole year?
Jasper, most of this information that far in advance is not easily availiable, well until Xmas and next years tide tables are produced. most websites only give you up to about 2 weeks in advance - you will need a Computer program or a nautical 'bible' to get further. The reason for this is the 'tidal constants' in the UK are fiercely guarded as intellectual property by the authorities and preclude reproduction under copyright.
That said, I worked for Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory (the link above) for about 4 years as a Marine Scientist , so if you tell me what you are looking for i.e. what are the high tides times at the weekend over the pupping season at Donna Nook?, ( Immingham is the nearest 'constant' port) I will roughly work them out for you.
