WHERE THE ANCHOLME MEETS THE HUMBER
Prepare for the Humber. Check local observations, find tide predictions and arrange your passage through South Ferriby Lock.
THE HUMBER · FIVE-DAY OUTLOOK
High and low water predictions for today and the following four days.
Prediction station: Humber Bridge — not South Ferriby Lock. Heights are above chart datum, not the m AOD gauge reference below. Times are UK local time (GMT/BST), as supplied by Tides Today. Do not add another hour for summer time.

This uses Environment Agency flood and river level data from the real-time data API (Beta), under the Open Government Licence. Readings may be delayed or unavailable. Check the official gauge.
This page is an aid to preparation, not a navigation service. Do not infer high-water times, lock availability, under-keel clearance or a safe passage from the observation chart.
Use current, authorised tide tables for the correct port and date. Hull predictions are not South Ferriby observations. Check the table’s time zone and whether British Summer Time has already been applied.
Open ADMIRALTY EasyTide ↗Choose the appropriate Humber prediction station. Confirm local corrections and passage timing with the lock keeper.
The Environment Agency describes tidal passage at South Ferriby as approximately three hours either side of high water, up to official sunset. This is guidance, not a guaranteed opening window. Book ahead and confirm current restrictions.
Lock keeper: 01652 635219Wind, pressure and river flow can alter actual levels. The Humber has strong currents, shifting shoals and commercial traffic. Check current charts, local notices and weather before departure.
Humber conditions ↗Tell the marina your vessel’s length, beam, draught and air draught when arranging a visit. Confirm the berth and your lock passage separately before departure. Keep current charts and navigation information aboard, and recheck conditions on the day.
If you are unsure about your approach or require local advice, contact the marina before setting out. The lock keeper makes operational decisions about lock passage.
