bass gas Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 hi guys, can you advise me of best tide times etc to tackle the bar. our boat has a draught of 2.5 feet. went out from there last year a few times and it was a bit hairy with the rollers etc. i notice the chanel has moved this year, is it very deep through there. we need to go fishing hav,nt been since last nov. hope the weather improves. thanks Lee.

alun j. Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 No Obvious break in the weather in the foreseeable !!!! Mudeford is OK for your boat as long as you're careful with the ebbing tide; this is when the water running out into any bumpy water will kick up the waves!! If ebbing, get in \ out by about 2 hrs 30 mins before LW.; you can cut it finer if you are on Neap tides and \ or air pressure is Low . Beware of Spring tides and High pressure...... the water runs away very quickly mid-tide. If flooding ...... things are much easier. Take care at the seaward end of the buoyed channel......it's shallowest near that last yellow buoy.......go East of it ,if the water is low. Hope this helps; it's amazing how many seemingly big boats get in and out! Alun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
