2015 is the peak of 18 year cycle for extra high and low tides

As well as the usual monthly (sping and neap) and seasonal  (perigean and apogee) rhythms of  tides,  there is a 18 year cylce of differnce cuase by variations in the orbit of the moon. 2015 is a peak year in this cylce – so extra high tides.

Setting questions over fishing aside – this is a great site for free, yearly tide tables for the whole of the UK. Many sites restrict the tidal predictions offered, and try to sell tide tables.
