Polkerris Beach Tide Times

Polkerris beach planning with Fowey as the validated reference gauge.

This is a reference-gauge page, not a locally adjusted beach tide table. It links to the validated Fowey gauge because Tide Checking does not invent secondary-port offsets.

Reference tide times from Fowey

These are validated Fowey reference-gauge times shown in UK local time. They are useful for broad planning, but they are not a locally adjusted tide table for this beach. Heights are metres above Ordnance Datum (mAOD), not chart datum.

Use a safety margin

For beach walks, coves, causeways and cliff-backed beaches, check the return route as well as the next low water. Weather, swell and air pressure can move the real sea level away from the astronomical prediction.
