Tide Guide

As Enigma's progress is dramatically affected by the tidal flow, and the Solent has quite a complex tidal system, it is important to establish which way the tide will be flowing so we can make the most of our sailing trips.

Depending on our destination, how long we plan to be away and the prevailing weather conditions we might leave at any state of the tide, but we will always aim to return to Ocean Village just before High Water. For our day sail itinerary click here...
