Why these times are right when others are wrong
We read this river every day
Built and maintained by local River Arun guides who run trips on this exact stretch of water. We've watched its tides first-hand for years. These are considered predictions, not scraped coastal data.
The Arun isn't the coast
Pulborough is about 14 miles upriver. High water lands about 4 hours after Littlehampton, and the river floods fast then drains slowly: around 4 hours to fill and 8 hours to empty. Generic sites that copy seaside times get it wrong here. See how the tide moves along the whole River Arun.
Modelled, not guessed
We start from a proper harmonic tidal model at Littlehampton, then apply the Arun's measured timing offset for Pulborough. The whole thing refreshes automatically every day.
Thinking of getting on the water?
A gentle river you can paddle almost any time
The Arun runs gently here, so the tidal flow is mild and you can paddle at almost any state of the tide. Time it for high water if you want to reach Pallingham Quay upstream. We hire kayaks, canoes and paddleboards and run guided trips from Pulborough.

Questions about Pulborough tides
What time is the tide at Pulborough today?
Today the tides at Pulborough are: low at 01:28, high at 05:38, low at 13:38, high at 17:58 (Europe/London time). High and low water times shift by roughly an hour each day, so it's worth checking back.
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 quickly then empties slowly, with a flood of about 4 hours and an ebb of about 8 hours. Generic tide sites that copy coastal times get Pulborough wrong.
Is it safe to kayak or paddleboard at Pulborough?
Paddling is an assumed-risk activity, so always use your own judgement and check the conditions before you set off. In normal summer conditions the Arun here is slow-flowing and suitable for most people. After heavy rain, or through the winter, it can run faster and higher, so take extra care or wait for calmer days. The flow is gentle enough to paddle at most states of the tide; you only need a high tide if you want to get all the way up to Pallingham Quay. Never rely on tide times alone for your safety.
