How accurate are these tide times?
These are tide predictions, worked out from the movement of the moon and sun
So they are calculated years in advance rather than measured on the day. Prestatyn does not have its own tide gauge, so we use the same tide model that we check every month against real Environment Agency gauges at Holyhead, Llandudno and Barmouth, where it matches to within about 15 cm. Expect high and low water times here to be accurate to roughly 10 to 15 minutes.
Not for navigation
These times are a guide for planning a day out, a coastal walk or a photo. They are not for navigation or anything where an exact tide height matters, and weather can push the real sea level above or below any prediction. For navigation, use official Admiralty sources.

About Prestatyn tides
Prestatyn's beach is long and flat, opening onto Liverpool Bay. Tidal range on springs is around 7 metres and the tide can come in quickly across the shallow sand, so it's worth knowing the next high water time before spending time on the beach.

Are Prestatyn tides similar to Rhyl?
Yes — the two beaches sit within a couple of miles of each other on the same stretch of Liverpool Bay, so the times and heights are almost identical.
