tidal stream through the looe channel

[dancingwithmoons]

I'm not able to consult almanac as its on the boat and i'm not
Can anyone let me know the tidal gate for going west to east through the looe channel
I will be leaving from Gosport headed for Brighton
So its bound to blow an easterly and I would like to have the tide with me

Errr....what date?

Apologies if you're a regular user of the Looe, but watch out for pots, I was amazed to see so many laid in a narrow and well marked channel.

Depending on the wind strength, wind against tide through there can be a bit uncomfortable and it may be worth going Outer Owers if that is the case

Just after hours before or after high water portsmouth really
ie how long the stream flows westward

Hope to go Thursday morning so not much wind predicted
thanks for the warning on pots

I went through the Looe channel yesterday on the way from Brighton to Hamble (excellent sail, close fetch and sunshine all the way.)
I don't have my tidal atlas with me, but I believe the current will change from east going to west going around mid afternoon during the next couple of days.
I passed Street buoy at about 12:30 yesterday. At that time it was still flowing strongly eastbound.

second the warning about pots... I came through there in the middle of last week with the tide at full chat, and the markers were being dragged under water... nice SOG though!
