Y-Shaped Groyne – Liverpool Bay /
As the tide goes out a y-shaped groyne is revealed on New Brighton beach.
7m ebbing tide – Liverpool Bay /
Liverpool Bay just after a neap high tide of 7.55m. The sandbanks are submerged, as is most of the concrete groyne.
6.2m ebbing tide – Liverpool Bay /
6.2m ebbing tide on a windy overcast day. Sandbanks completely submerged.
New Brighton Groynes /
At one point in Liverpool Bay, there is a 3-way groyne. One arm reaches back to the promenade, one runs parallel to the prom and the other reaches out into the bay. Fascinating structures.
3.6m ebbing tide – Liverpool Bay /
At 8am the tide is at 3.6m high and going out. The sandbanks are completely underwater now. A little boat skims across the top of them heading out to sea. Small boats can safely sail through this area, but the container ships and tankers need to enter via the channel.
2.5m ebbing tide – Liverpool Bay /
Around 8am today the tide was ebbing at 2.5 meters. A huge difference to earlier in the week when it was at 0.9m and the sandbanks were exposed. I could have skipped to the Isle of Man. The white dot on the horizon is a ship avoiding the sandbanks.
Fishing – Liverpool Bay /
0.96m low tide. A person is out fishing in the early hours of the morning.
Liverpool Bay Sandbanks /
At low tide little sandbank islands are visible in Liverpool Bay, stretching off to the horizon. Entry to the River Mersey is by navigating a narrow channel. Larger ships are aided by a Mersey Pilot.
