Hayling Island Tides

[Tillymay]

Help please understanding the tides, if we can only ride from 7.00pm and low tide is 5pm how far will it have come in by 7.00pm? High tide being 11.00pm? Is there space and time to ride for an hour 7-8pm?

thank you xx

Could we ride Wednesday or Thursday evening for example?

I don't know the area, and it depends a lot on the shape of the beaches etc. But the tide moves fastest in the middle section between high and low. So just after it turns, it's moving most slowly. It will increase speed for about 3 hours then slow down again until the next high/low. Google the rule of 6ths. That said, without knowing the beach for sure I couldn't really help more than that but assuming it doesn't completely cover the beach I'd have thought riding for 2-3 hours after low tide would be fine.
Alternatively wait a week or two and ride after high tide so you know its only going out again.

I'd recommend getting to Hayling, and being mounted and on the beach an hour before the official low tide time. It comes in quick off the Solent.

You also need to allow time for sitting in traffic getting there, that road can be at a standstill very quickly. If it was me, I'd be waiting until the schools are back, it's a busy beach.
