Why these times are right when others are wrong
We read this river every day
This site is built and kept by local River Arun guides who run trips on this exact stretch of the Arun and have watched its tides first-hand for years. These are considered predictions, not scraped coastal data.
The Arun isn't the coast
Pulborough is ~14 miles upriver. High water lands about 4 hours after Littlehampton, and the river floods fast then ebbs slowly — roughly a 4-hour flood and 8-hour ebb. Generic sites that copy seaside times are simply wrong here.
Modelled, not guessed
We start from a proper harmonic tidal model at Littlehampton, then apply the Arun's measured timing offset for Pulborough. Refreshed automatically every day.

Today the tides at Pulborough are: low at 01:28, high at 05:38, low at 13:38, high at 17:59 (Europe/London time). High and low water times change by roughly an hour each day, so check back daily.
Why are Pulborough's tide times different from the coast?
Pulborough sits about 14 miles up the tidal River Arun. High water arrives roughly 4 hours after Littlehampton, and the river fills fast and empties slowly — a flood tide of about 4 hours and an ebb of about 8 hours. Generic tide sites that just copy coastal times get Pulborough wrong.
Is it safe to kayak or paddleboard at Pulborough?
The few hours either side of high water give the easiest, fullest water for paddling. This site is kept by people who run trips on this exact stretch of the Arun and watch these tides every day; if you'd like to get on the water, kayak, canoe and paddleboard hire is available locally.
