The morning high tide slips in just after five, around 1.3 metres, and the afternoon one follows at half past five, a touch lower at 1.2, while the sea pulls back to barely half a metre near lunchtime and again just after midnight. It is a modest, gentle rhythm for 帕拉蒂 today, with the water moving only about seven tenths of a metre between its highest and lowest, so nothing feels rushed or dramatic.

For anyone heading to the beach, the late morning is your sweet spot, as the tide is already falling from that first peak and the sand stretches out nicely for a walk, but by early afternoon the water sits low and you will find pools among the rocks. Swimmers should aim for the hour or two around the high tides, especially the morning one, when the water is deepest and calmest, while anglers might prefer the turn just after the 13:18 low, when the current starts to pick up and the fish begin moving again.

Small boats and kayaks, though, need a bit of care around the midday low, because the channels shallow out and you could easily touch bottom if you cut corners; the flood after that low pushes in steadily, so launching after two o’clock is fine, but be mindful that the ebb from the 17:30 high can run swift near the river mouth. If you are out at that time, keep an eye on the current and stay clear of the narrows, as the falling water pulls harder than you might expect on such a mild day.

Sunrise comes at 06:31 and sunset at 05:38, so daylight runs from just before seven in the morning to just after five thirty in the evening, which lines up neatly with the tidal swings. You get the morning high right when the sun is climbing, and the evening high near dusk, so plan your beach trip around those windows and you will catch the best of both the water and the light, with the low tide gap in the middle perfect for a lazy picnic on the exposed sand.
