The falls of Lora information website - Times and height predictions 2012
The table below gives times and predicted tidal ranges for ebb spring tides during 2010
This year we have colour coded the table based on the last three years experience. It's a bit like the colour coding on ski runs.
Blue means "good fun in sea kayaks, good for ww training but unlikely to produce a good playboat wave.
Red should be excellent in sea kayaks and might provide a good playboat wave.
Black entries should be awesome as they combine a big range with very low tides, making the wave more likely to provide good sport for playboaters.
It would be a big help if paddlers could provide feedback on how the conditions you experience compare with our predictions. Please let us know on info@fallsoflora.info
All times are UTC (add one hour for BST) Big tides that occur after dark have been omitted
For sea kayaks, the FLOOD tide is also excellent sport
The estimate of the best time to see or paddle the falls is based on local observations combined with standard tide tables.
In practice, these times and ranges are often affected by atmospheric pressure, wind strength and direction.
Or to put it another way, if you don't have a good time it isn't our fault!
