Tidal surges disrupt normal vessel operations and occurare more frequently then people think. Around the coast of the UK, tidal surges of one or even two meters occur several times per year in many locations. No matter how accurate tidal predictions are, the mariner always needs to know the state of the tide in real-time. This is because, in addition to the normal tide, there are often tidal surges which are caused by atmospheric pressure and wind. And being caused by weather, tidal surges are difficult to predict and unlike the normal tide cannot be tabulated in advance.
With TideReachSP surge predictions are possible up to 2 hours before high water, helping the harbourmaster to safely manage approaching vessels. ![]() TideReachSP operates by examining the shape and timing of the rising tidal curve and comparing it with previous outcomes.
