Source gauge
The source tide page is Newlyn. Heights are shown in mAOD, not chart datum, and the gauge page includes the live gauge check and the full 14-day tide curve.
Beach characteristic
Porthcurno and Pedn Vounder sit on an exposed west-facing coast. The Newlyn gauge is useful as a broad reference only; swell, cliffs, access paths and local signs matter a great deal here.

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.
