Bank Holiday Weather & Tide Bank Holiday Times
It looks like it’s going to be a scorcher of a weekend in Newquay!
Over the weekend, it’s high tide in the early morning (9-10.30) and low tide late afternoon. At low tide the tide starts coming in again, so don’t get cut off!
Make sure you know when the high and low tide times are. If you’re taking a walk try to set out at High Tide so you don’t get cut off. High tide is when the sea is fully in – low tide is when the sea is fully out.
