About tides at Falmouth, Cornwall
Falmouth sits on Cornwall's south coast, on one of the deepest natural harbours in Europe — Carrick Roads, the drowned river-mouth of the Fal. The tide range here is gentler than Newquay on the north coast: mean range about 4.4 metres, semidiurnal, with spring tides pushing past 5 metres and neaps dropping near 2.5. The pattern is two highs and two lows about twelve and a half hours apart. The harbour is sheltered from the worst of the open Atlantic by Pendennis Point and St Anthony Head, so the day-to-day signal reads steadier than the exposed north coast. For anyone walking the waterfront, taking the foot ferry across to Flushing or up the Fal to Trelissick, or sailing out of the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club, the tide changes the trip's timing. The flat at Maenporth and the rocky points at Pendennis open up at low water; the Helford River just south runs entirely tidal and drains noticeably on each ebb. Predictions on this page come from Open-Meteo Marine, gridded ocean-model output. Useful for planning, not navigation-grade — UK Hydrographic Office Admiralty TotalTide is the authoritative British tide product.
