Safe crossing times for 2026 (PDF Downloads)

Times are published in good faith, but the decision to cross rests with the individual, not the RNLI. A safety margin has been incorporated into these calculations, however, tides may vary and conditions should be checked on the day of crossing. The finish time for the crossing period is the time to be back on the mainland. Allow time to cross back.
