Tide data from the UK Environment Agency, refreshed at most every 30 minutes. For navigation use, always cross-check official Admiralty tables.
Ullapool sits on the Scotland coast and follows the standard semi-diurnal tidal pattern of the British Isles - two high tides and two low tides every 24 hours and 50 minutes, with each successive high arriving about 12 hours and 25 minutes after the last. Tide range at Ullapool varies between spring tides (around new and full moon, when the Sun and Moon's gravity align for the biggest range) and neap tides (around the first and last quarter, when their forces partly cancel).
The live tide-height readings on this page come from the UK Environment Agency tide gauge network: actual sensor data, not an estimate. The 10-day forecast that follows is generated by Open-Meteo's ocean model and is calibrated each hour to the latest EA gauge reading at Ullapool so the numbers match what you'd see on a printed tide table. Heights are quoted in metres above local chart datum, which is the convention used in UK Admiralty tide tables.
Whether you're sea fishing, surfing, kayaking, diving, kite-flying or just walking the dog along the beach, knowing the tide times for Ullapool helps you plan around safe access, the run of the current and the productive feeding windows in either side of a tide change.
Anglers fishing the Scotland coast near Ullapool typically cross-check the closest neighbouring gauges: Oban tide times (~103 miles along the coast), and Aberdeen tide times (~125 miles along the coast) . Calibrated heights are pulled from the live EA gauge at 57.897°N 5.158°W.
Tide heights are pulled from the UK Environment Agency tide gauge network in real time, with a 14-day forecast modelled from Open-Meteo. The data is refreshed every hour and is free for anglers, surfers, kayakers and divers to use.
The major solunar feeding periods at Ullapool today are 02:30 to 04:30 and 15:00 to 17:00, when the moon is overhead and underfoot. Minor periods fall around moonrise and moonset. Fish tend to feed most actively in these windows, so plan a session around them where the state of tide also suits.
