Note re tide tables above
The left hand figure on each line is the time, e.g. 00:25 is 25 minutes past midnight. The right hand figure on each line is the height at that time of low or high tide in metres above the local chart datum; this is supposed to be the lowest point ever reached by tides at that location (Shields for us). So low tide should never go below zero. The maximum high tide ever reached here is around 5.7 metres. At the other extreme, the difference between high and low tides can be as low as 1.5 metres.

Problems with very low tides
Low tides affect us at the club most. Anything below about 1.00 metres is off the bottom of the steps and is a problem in terms of grounding, so coaches and coordinators should be looking ahead for problem days. For example (in BST):
Sat 10 Mar 2012
04:27 5.26
10:42 0.56
16:36 5.50
23:13 0.23
