 Low to High tide is just over 6 hours and the first hour after low and before high is considered "dead water" so the noticeable movement is 4 hours long.

As a boat owner in the Thames estuary, I am well familiar with the issue of people being cut off by the tide which races in behind you if you are unaware of the nature of the mudflats.

We even have an RNLI hovercraft to deal with the problem! :smilesmall:
