Hello,
I'm hoping someone out there will be able to help me!! I'm planning to come down to Bude the 2nd or 3rd week in September but need to know which will be the best week tidewise.

We love to walk along the beach from Summerleaze to Sandymouth but the tide height and time has to be right! Last year the tide seemed to be in for the best part of the day and when it did go out, it didn't go out far enough.

Does anyone know where I can get this info from asap as I need to let the lady we rent the flat from know which week I want very, very soon!

I've looked online and can't seem to find anything helpful. All I get is my local beach tidetables which is near sussex so not much help for North Cornwall!

Hi G,

Try http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/coast/d...20050406.shtml

Bude is Padstow +9 min

But at this time of year your landlady should have a little booklet with the local tide timetables, and should be able to advise you. Or you could try www.information-britain.co.uk, click on the link to Cornwall and find some info that way via the local tourist information centre in Bude - I've found them very helpful in the past.

Bude Tourist Board will have this info -TEL: 01288 354240
FAX: 01288 355769

This may seem hard to believe, but tide tables for the next six days are free for the asking, but longer-range tables require a fee. That's from the entrepreneurial folks at the UK Home Office (Admiralty):
