Strictly a high tide route as there’s only water in Battlesbridge on the top of the tide! Depending on your average speed, set off from 40 minutes (6kmph) to 30 minutes (8kmph) before high tide – as the ebb tide will help you back, for an easier ride home you can always grab a drink at the pub, or leave the launch a little later if you’re happy to work harder on the way out. Ideally aim to turn just after the tide turns. Not great (although not impossible!) in easterly winds as it’s a headwind home for a lot of the way and wind against tide can get choppy at the launch! Best in light to moderate southerly to westerly winds, also OK if not ideal in northerly. Check tide and wind conditions via our SUP weather page…
