About tides at Whitby, Yorkshire
Whitby sits on the North Yorkshire coast where the River Esk cuts a narrow harbour between two cliffs, the eastern one topped by the ruined abbey that draws the photographs. The tide here runs the classic North Sea signature: cleanly semidiurnal, two highs and two lows of comparable size each day, twelve and a half hours apart. Mean range at the harbour mouth is about 4.2 metres, climbing toward 5 metres on spring tides and dropping near 2.4 on neaps. The harbour itself dries to a thin channel near the bottom of every spring low, and small-boat owners moor on the foreshore knowing they will sit on the mud for several hours each cycle. The wide sand at Whitby Sands and the rocky shelf round to Saltwick Bay are tide-dependent: the beach at the foot of the abbey steps widens by 30 metres on the low and reshapes daily. Tide pooling at Saltwick Nab opens up at the lower spring tides of the month, and fossil-hunters on the Jurassic Coast between Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay time their walks for the bottom of the cycle. Predictions on this page come from Open-Meteo's gridded marine model — useful for daily planning but not navigation-grade. UK Hydrographic Office Admiralty TotalTide is the authoritative British tide product.
