About tides at Sheerness (Thames Estuary)
Sheerness sits at the mouth of the Thames Estuary on the Isle of Sheppey, where the river broadens and meets the southern North Sea. The estuary tide is large — mean range about 5 metres, climbing past 6 metres on spring tides. The pattern is semidiurnal, two highs and two lows roughly twelve and a half hours apart. The swing changes the estuary's look completely: the mudflats off Minster and the saltmarsh around the Medway open up at low water, and the Swale channel running south of Sheppey becomes a network of tidal creeks instead of a single waterway. Sheerness data on this page comes from the UK Environment Agency Flood Monitoring gauge — that's a real-time gauge reading, not a forecast. It reflects actual water level, including weather effects and the storm-surge component during easterly gales. For tide predictions, the UK Hydrographic Office is the authoritative source. For flood warnings, the Environment Agency's flood-warning service is the live one.
