Suffolk Tide Times
Popular Suffolk tide locations
Southwold and Aldeburgh are among the most searched spots for day trips. Felixstowe matters for harbour and promenade access. Sizewell and Orford Ness need careful timing around exposed stretches and restricted zones. Tide gaps of an hour or more can appear between northern and southern Suffolk — do not reuse one town’s times for another.
Safety & accuracy
Do not rely solely on this tool for safety-critical or navigation decisions. Heights here are model values relative to mean sea level. Weather, surge and local bathymetry change real water levels. Observe conditions, local signage and, for chart heights, check Admiralty EasyTide.
How to use this tool
- Choose your coastal location from the list.
- Read the next high and low tide predictions for the coming hours.
- Cross-check weather and signage before heading out.
Frequently asked questions
Which Suffolk beaches can I check tides for?+
Use the selector for popular spots including Southwold, Aldeburgh, Felixstowe, Sizewell and Orford Ness. Times differ along the coast — always pick the nearest listed location to where you will be.
Are these tide times official?+
They are free model-based predictions (TideTurtle / Open-Meteo Marine), not Admiralty chart-datum tables. Times of high and low are useful for beach walks and fishing; heights are relative to mean sea level. For navigation or exact chart heights, use Admiralty EasyTide or another official source.
Why do tide times matter on the Suffolk coast?+
Shingle beaches, harbour mouths and low-lying paths can become impassable or hazardous near high water. Anglers, photographers and dog walkers often plan around low tide for wider beaches and safer returns.
Can dogs go on Suffolk beaches at any tide?+
Seasonal dog bans and lead rules are separate from tides. Check our dog-friendly beaches guide for restrictions, then use tide times for access and safety.
