Flood Tide Times and dates for Sea kayakers

Big flood tides at the falls of Lora provide excellent sport for sea kayaks. It's vast, it's fast and it's got some exciting features.

And if things go a bit pear shaped, at least you are going to be heading inland instead of out to sea!

The waves and eddy lines work best from one hour before until 30 minutes after high water Oban

The table below gives some recommended dates and times for big Flood tides this year. 

Unfortunately, the high tides in January and February will be largely outside daylight hours.

The July and August spring evening tides look like they should be great fun

For obvious safety reasons, I have not included tides after dark
