TIDE TABLE 2016
The tidal predictions are Crown Copyright and have been computed and supplied by The
Hydrographer of the Navy with the permission of the Controller of Her Majesty’s Stationery Office.
Local times are used, i.e. G.M.T. or B.S.T. as stated.
Heights of high water are given in metres and decimetres above the outer sill of the Entrance Lock. These are
based on the predictions for ‘Avonmouth King Road’, with a variable height correction which has been derived
from observations (deduction of approximately three metres).
Stoppages of navigation occur:
a. when stopgates at the Junction Lock are closed
b. during rush-hour periods when road traffic has priority at the swingbridges
It is frequently necessary to close the stopgates as much as half an hour earlier than the times stated and it is
advised that craft intending to sail on STOPGATE tides should be in Cumberland Basin one hour before the
stated time of closure.
* Bank Holiday, no bridge embargo applied.
