FAQs

What time is high tide on the River Tyne? ›

An incoming tide, or rising tide, is considered one of the best fishing tide times. Water that enters an estuary area from the ocean can have a lower temperature, contain more oxygen, and have better clarity than the water that exists in the estuary during low tide or slack water periods.

Following dredging of the river and its embankment by the River Tyne Improvement Commission, it is now tidal as far as Wylam Bridge.

On average, the heights of observed and predicted high waters are within 0.147m (0.48 ft.); low waters are within 0.135m (0.44ft.); and hourly heights are within 0.143m (0.47ft.).

Because the Earth rotates through two tidal “bulges” every lunar day, coastal areas experience two high and two low tides every 24 hours and 50 minutes. High tides occur 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. It takes six hours and 12.5 minutes for the water at the shore to go from high to low, or from low to high.

From Wylam the Tyne is the boundary between the historic counties of Northumberland and Durham. The river crosses a coalfield and for its last 14 miles (23 km) is a tidal waterway.

The slack tide is in many places one hour either side of high or low tide, and in some places the water barely moves. But this can vary, with different conditions in some places so it's vital that you always check local conditions.

As water levels rise, fish consistently move closer to the water's edge. This means that while you may want to fish deeper out in the lake, reservoir or river during the late summer and fall, you should spend much of your spring fishing closer to the banks.

The best tide for redfish fishing is the incoming low tide. The redfish are the first fish to move onto the flats when the tide changes from dead low to incoming. Redfish like to have first choice for the shrimp, crabs, snails and fish that got trapped in pot holes and small tidal creek channels.

Our river channel is maintained to a depth of 10m, while our berths provide up to 13m water depth alongside. We pride ourselves in our 'open all hours' approach – with no air draft restrictions to Port of Tyne facilities, no significant beam restrictions, no locks, and pilotage available around the clock.

What is the River Tyne famous for? ›

It is home to some of the most impressive bridges in the UK including the Tyne Bridge, the Swing Bridge and the Gateshead Millenium Bridge.

The River Tyne is the cleanest it has ever been. With 100% of all recovered material being recycled.

The 50/90 Rule

At the end of the first hour, the tidal stream reaches 50% of its maximum speed, at the end of the second hour, 90%, and at the end of the third hour, 100%. At the end of the third hour, the tidal stream has reached it maximum flow.

NOAA and its predecessor agencies have been generating tide predictions since the mid-1860s. All NOAA tide and tidal current predictions for locations around the nation are available in electronic form online.

There's about a seven-day interval between spring tides and neap tides, when the tide's range is at its minimum. Neap tides occur halfway between each new and full moon – at the first quarter and last quarter moon phase – when the sun and moon are at right angles as seen from Earth.

At night, the moon rises and the distance between Earth and Moon is lesser. Therefore, sea waves get attracted towards the moon and get stronger.

The timing of the tides changes by about 45 minutes to an hour every day as the Moon completes its orbit around the Earth. This means that high and low tides can and do occur at virtually every time of day though the timing of the tides changes.

How far ahead can the tide be predicted? As we know the position of the Moon and the Sun very accurately, we are able to compute the tides many years ahead (or into the past).

The tidal river has been managed by the Port of Tyne Authority since 1968.

There are two River Tynes located in Great Britain, the thirty mile long River Tyne in south, east Scotland and the sixty two mile long River Tyne in north, east England.

Has the River Tyne ever flooded? ›

The Great Flood of 1771 affected several rivers, including the Tyne, Tees, Wear and Eden and settlements across northern England from 16 and 17 November 1771. Its cause was a sudden thaw of the ice in upper Teesdale, a cloud burst over the Pennines and a continuous period of rain.

The time between high tides varies from day to day because the orbits of the moon around the earth, and the earth around the sun, are not exactly circular. On average, the moon rotates around the earth once every 24.8 hours, so that the M2 occurs in half this time – 12.4 hours.

The safest time to swim in the sea is during a slack tide. A “slack tide” is when the water is most still. This means there is less water moving and currents are weaker. However, rip currents can still occur at slack tides so always stay aware of potential riptides.

In most places on the planet, high and low tides occur twice daily. Each day these tides change 50 minutes later, as it takes the moon 24 hours and 50 minutes to completely rotate around the earth.

The simple answer to where you should fish is generally upstream. Fish naturally swim against the flow of water, which means fishing upstream gives you many advantages. This is especially true for smaller rivers and streams, where there's much less room to navigate.

THE BEST TIDES FOR FISHING

Typically, the best times to fish are when the tide is “running” — that is, when it's on the move from high to low or vice versa. Once the water approaches the extremes of high or low tide, it slows down and stops moving, becoming what's known as “slack,” and the fish are less likely to bite.

The best baits for redfish are live shrimp, pin fish, white baits and finger mullet. The best lures for redfish are a 3 inch to a 5 inch white paddle tail with a 1/8 to a 1/2 ounce red jig head or a weed less gold spoon worked slowly near the bottom of the water column.

I highly recommend using a 100% Fluorocarbon Leader when fishing for redfish. 100% Fluorocarbon Leader has lower memory, more abrasion resistance, and is clearer than monofilament fishing line. I also want to add that you will want to use Fluorocarbon leader over using straight braided line.

Expand/Collapse Is it OK to eat local finfish during a red tide? Yes, it is safe to eat local finfish as long as the fish are filleted before eaten. Although toxins may accumulate in the guts of fish, these areas are disposed of when the fish are filleted.

Can you swim in the River Tyne? ›

Chollerford (River Tyne)

Chollerford is a village in Northumberland, around 4 miles north of Hexham. There is a section of the River Tyne there well suited for open water swimming.

Tyne. / (taɪn) / noun. a river in N England, flowing east to the North Sea.

At a depth of 216 feet (though some sources say it's 202 ft), the Hudson River is the deepest river in the United States. The Hudson River's headwaters are located in the Lake Tear of the Clouds in New York's Adirondack Park. It travels 315 miles from that point to Upper New York Bay.

What is Geordie? The word Geordie refers both to a native of Newcastle upon Tyne and to the speech of the inhabitants of that city. There are several theories about the exact origins of the term Geordie, but all agree it derives from the local pet name for George.

According to this account the Vikings sailed up the Tyne to the mouth of the Tyne Don, alighted from their ships, and plundered the monastery (26515) in the wake of the sack of Lindisfarne the previous year (1578669).

Starting as tiny trickles in the hills of Cumbria and Northumberland, the River Tyne stretches 73 miles from source to mouth. The waters of the North and South Tyne come together at what is known as the meeting of the waters at Warden, near Hexham.

New York's waterways have acquired a bad rap for being dirty, disgusting cesspools. But, really, just how nasty are the city's waters? According to Melissa Rex, director of education at the River Project, the Hudson River is the cleanest it has been in 100 years and home to a booming ecosystem.

Indonesia, the home of the Citarum, exceeds a national population of 200 million residents. The river flows through an area where there are heavy human settlements coupled with a number of factories. The river has continually robbed the country of people with over 50,000 deaths annually.

The Blackwater River is unmodified by dams and reservoirs. Winding through rural areas and conservation land, the river is considered one of the cleanest rivers in the nation. This wild and natural river draws attention from scientists studying the insect life on its unusual shifting sandy bottom.

The rule states that in the first hour after low tide the water level will rise by one-twelfth of the range, in the second-hour two-twelfths, and so on according to the sequence as illustrated above. A rough percentage may also be deduced along the same lines.

What is the rule of 12 in kayaking? ›

The formula in the Rule of Twelfths is that 1/12 of the water moves in the first hour, 2/12 of the water moves in the second hour, 3/12 of the water moves in each of the third and fourth hours, 2/12 of the water moves in the fifth and 1/12 of the water moves in the sixth.

To interpolate between spring and neap tides we use the rule of seven. Since the change from spring range to neap range can be assumed linear (instead of sinusoid), each day the range changes with ¹⁄₇^th of difference between the spring and neap ranges. Hence, the daily change in range is ^{(spring range - neap range)}⁄₇.

When the Earth is closest to the sun (perihelion), around January 2 of the calendar year, tidal ranges are enhanced. At aphelion, when the Earth is furthest from the sun, around July 2, tidal ranges are reduced (Sumich, J.L., 1996; Thurman, H.V., 1994).

A tide range of 16.6 m (54 ft 6 in) was recorded at springs in Leaf Basin in Ungava Bay, Quebec, Canada in 1953.

Located in Canada, between the provinces of Nova Scotia and Brunswick, sits the Bay of Fundy, home to the world largest tidal variations.

WHAT IS A KING TIDE? The king tide is the highest predicted high tide of the year at a coastal location. It is above the highest water level reached at high tide on an average day.

When the Sun and Moon are in line with the Earth (when a full moon or new moon occur), their combined gravity cause very high tides (and very low tides), known as “spring tides.”

Periodicity of tides

Each day tide is delayed by 26 minutes because the moon also rotates on its axis while revolving round the earth.

The extraordinary tides in the Bay of Fundy are due to both the funneling of water as it moves from the wider Gulf of Maine into the bay and surrounding continental shelf, which is a near-harmonic with the quarter-length of the tidal wave itself, leading to a dramatically amplified reaction to the tidal wave.

The Gulf of Maine is home to the largest range in tidal elevations on the planet. In the Bay of Fundy (just north of the Maine coast) the height of the sea surface can shift by a staggering 50 feet between high and low tide (Thompson, 2010).

What time of the month are tides highest? ›

When the sun, moon, and Earth are in alignment (at the time of the new or full moon), the solar tide has an additive effect on the lunar tide, creating extra-high high tides, and very low, low tides—both commonly called spring tides.

The most popular time to fish in the Canal is during the “breaking tides,” so named for their tendency to produce fish feeding at the surface. These conditions occur when the current change from west to east happens close to daybreak.

The controlling depth of the Cape Cod Canal is 32 feet MLLW.

The strong current is the result of differences in water table levels between Cape Cod Bay and Buzzard's Bay. If the water level is lower in Buzzard's Bay, then the Canal's current will move westward. If the water level is lower in Cape Cod Bay, then the Canal's current will move eastward.
