Pressure point moved 6th October 2001, resulting in possible datum 'jump'.

Historic tide gauge information: The gauge installed in 1988 was levelled by an external company and was later found to be .2m out. Following this a temporary gauge was fitted with the datum being based on the previous value until the new gauge with 3 sensors fitted in 2001.

Complete station flagged as suspect.

Documentation added 2014-07-02

From mid July 2012 the primary channel was reading ~50mm high. The mid tide tube had been severed and the full tide tubes damaged. Following a visit in Dec. 2012 the primary channel was again functioning.

Documentation added 2015-05-06

There were problems with the gauge throughout 2014. During Jan-Apr readings were in the order of 20-30mm high while in July and August HWs appeared low. From September onwards it was suspected that the gauge was blocking. TGI were at site on four separate occasions. No levelling was carried out during 2014.
