High Tides today and long delays at National Trust

Very high tides this weekend, today there will be little or no beach visible between 11.30am and 2.30pm. High tide is due at 12:05 and is 9.30m in Formby.

There are some car parks closed on the Sefton coast due to high tides which usually means that Formbys National Trust will be very busy this weekend. Please expect long delays and long queues.
