For instance the chart for 3 hours after high water is valid from HW+2½ to HW+3½, not from HW+3 to HW+4. [2] Tidal atlases may provide additional information for areas such as estuaries where it important to calculate tides away from the ports. Such information may include co-tidal range information [3] and time differences. [4]
A narrower definition adopted for navigation purposes by some charts includes only the area downstream of the Second Severn Crossing near Severn Beach, South Gloucestershire. [9] The definition used on Admiralty Chart SC1179 and the Bristol Channel and Severn Cruising Guide is that the estuary extends upstream to Aust, the site of the Severn ...

In the southeast, Sully Island is linked to the Glamorgan coast at low tide whilst Flat Holm is 3 miles off the coast at the east end of the Bristol Channel and is the southernmost part of Wales.
Tide tables, sometimes called tide charts, are used for tidal prediction and show the daily times and levels of high and low tides, usually for a particular location. [1] Tide heights at intermediate times (between high and low water) can be approximated by using the rule of twelfths or more accurately calculated by using a published tidal ...
