About the tides at Sunbury

Sunbury has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. With a mean range of about 6.9 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 9.1 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 6.9 ft, on Monday.

Predictions for Sunbury come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. The nearest other station is Belfast, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 34 min later. For tidal currents, see Medway River at Marsh Island.
