Tidal heights will be affected by flood water coming down the river, strong winds especially from the North West and South East and extreme variations in atmospheric pressure. The SEACAMS website warns “The predictions for Conwy should be used with care, particularly at low tide ” http://www.cao.bangor.ac.uk/dataproducts/local_forecasts/tide_tables/2015/conwy.htm The greater heights represent High Water Slack and the lower ones, Low Water Slack. Times are in UT [GMT]; One hour should be added between 29 March and 24 October for BST. 43
