The climbers club website has the times but I just used to phone up the coast guard who didn't mind giving me times and heights. The number is: 01407 762051

Dickies boat yard in Bangor probably sells tide tables too.

There you go Dave, all you need to do is head down to the docks, pick the saltiest looking seaman that you can find and ask to see dickie  :)

Llandudo is right for Angel bay but what should I look up for Port Ysgo (Aberystwyth)?

If you're going off the Lavers Liverpool Tide tables, then Llandudno is 1/2 hour previous and Abersoch is 3 hours.

The tide doesn't matter that much at Porth Ysgo - most problems are barely affected.

Angel Bay, Pigeon Cave Boulders and Porth Oer are a different matter though - and don't even bother going unless it is fresh and windy.

Read the Pretty pictures - Oh yes! thread. The second Snowdonia-active url link will get you there.

The guide: late October.
