Weather and Safety

Knowing the weather conditions and how to prepare your vessel is essential for safe and enjoyable boating.

Vessel owners should familiarise themselves with our Emergency Procedure Storm, and other marine safety sites and consult the weather forecasts before heading out on the water.

The links below will assist in planning your next day out on the water.

Tides

Please be aware when entering Rosslyn Bay Harbour, we are advised for navigation purposes, the depth at the entrance is approximately 1m plus the tide height. We recommend planning your arrival and departure accordingly.

Wind & Weather

In our experience the reliability of websites can be variable, and you can almost always find one which will tell you what you want to hear! In the interest of safer boating, here is a list of handy links to help you do your research and enjoy your time on the water.
