Heading West?
The Portland Race, the
waters off Portland Bill (approximately seven sea miles
from Weymouth Harbour mouth), can be treacherous and
should be avoided, particularly during spring tides.
With careful planning
however, the tidal flow can be of great benefit when
running to the west. To make the best possible passage,
it is suggested that craft are at Portland Bill four
hours after high water Portland / half an hour before
high water Dover. |
