Please note: In many cases, the station position in our database is accurate
to only one minute. Thus, the tide gauge may not appear to be on the coast.
Data from 2 sites prior to 1959 MSL values based on readings of high and low waters.Data prior to 1962 referred to BM which has proved unstable irregularities in records for 1940 & 1941. 1940-41. Data therefore ommitted gauge at new site in September 1965.
