| Tide gauge location | 54° 29.318' N 00° 36.878' W |
| For full site history | See latest annual report |
A Valeport pressure transducer was deployed on 11 June 2013. The original instrumentation was replaced with a Valeport VRS20 on 13 September 2022, at a location ~20 metres from the original site. The instrument is dry at some low tides.
Note that the elevations recorded by the gauge are approximately 20 cm lower than those reported by the nearby National Network tide gauge in the harbour. The readings from this gauge have been verified by level surveys and independently by an 8-hour VORF calibration.
