About tides at Brighton, Sussex
Brighton sits on the central English Channel coast, the long shingle beach running from Hove east toward Saltdean under the chalk cliffs at Black Rock and Rottingdean. The tide here is moderate by Channel standards but sharper-edged than the open-coast resorts further west. Mean range at Brighton Marina is about 5.2 metres on the springs, dropping near 2.6 on neaps, with the typical mean range close to 4 metres. The pattern is semidiurnal, two highs and two lows of comparable size, twelve and a half hours apart. The shingle bank steepens fast under the swing — a metre of vertical change covers ten or fifteen metres of beach width, less than the gentle sands further along the Sussex coast at West Wittering or Camber. For pier walkers, paddle-board crews launching off Hove Lagoon, and the cold-water swimming groups that use the exposed concrete steps below the seafront, the timing matters more than the absolute height. The Palace Pier sits well clear of all but the highest spring tides; the older West Pier ruin further down stands in deeper water and is fully submerged most of the time. Predictions on this page come from Open-Meteo's gridded marine model — general-planning data, not navigation-grade. UK Hydrographic Office Admiralty TotalTide is the authoritative British tide product.
