Liverpool (Gladstone Dock) tide predictions from the National Tidal & Sea Level Facility (NTSLF), National Oceanography Centre. Spring periods are centred on the highest predicted high water in each lunar cycle; the shaded window varies with spring size (1–3 days either side). At Liverpool high waters reach ~9–10m during large springs and ~7.5m at neaps. Size (small / moderate / large) and rank are relative to all springs in the peak's own calendar year — dates carry their year whenever it isn't 2026, since a spring's rank is never comparable across the year boundary.
