Martin, the Early May Bank Hol. is later than normal.......it's on FRIDAY, May 8th ..... something to do with VE Day, 75th anniversary.
For info, there's a full moon on May 7th....and big tides all over that weekend.
Alun.
Thanks all.! Went out this morning...all calm but rain soon started.
Took. A long time to find. a few bass.....but nothing big!
eventually the mackerel seem to have turned up...and nice big ones for the table rather than livebaits!
finished the day bbq,...in. the rain....and keeping it out of my wine!

Hi Andy. It 's a little bit shallow but you should be ok apart from LW springs and/or High air pressure on other LWs. Water takes a bit longer to come in....so up to 1.5 hrs before LW and after 2,5 hrs on the flood. Rule of thumb...go for 1m on the Easytide graph.
No cost to leave your trailer on the shore but car park is expensive [ £10 for 8 hrs]....but if you are early , you can park up on the main road near the Nelson pub.
It gets [really] busy weekends in Summer...with lots of Jetskis.

Looks like we are stuck in this run of strong West winds with plenty of rain.
Tuesday's possible window is being blown out of the forecasts as Sunday's NW fails to lead to the brief northerly cold interval.....
.....so fishing plans will rely on winds going S or SE ....and another hunt for harbour flounders ! Perhaps the extra freshwater in the rivers may help [??].
I wonder if those above have turned around and come back in.? I was up early , looking to go out ...and saw E wind in double figures at 6 a.m.
After a rubbish session in the harbour yesterday, all plans abandoned !
Alun.
