APPROACHES TO St. PETER PORT

Because of strong tidal currents around the Channel Islands careful study of the Tidal Atlas is recommended. At spring tides high water is approximately 0800/2000 G.M.T. (8.9 range) and at Neaps 0100/1300 (6.6m), slack water is approximately half tide in the Little Russel. In the area charted, the main stream runs North/North East at high water and South/South West at low water. Maximum tidal flow will be experienced at high and low water. Tidal rates vary from 5.25 knots during Springs and 2.25 during Neaps.
