Mersea Tide Watch

Never get caught out by the Mersea tide again. Check if the Strood is passable before you set off. Real-time tide time status and link to Stroodcam.

The Strood is the only road on and off Mersea Island – and, occasionally, the sea swallows it whole.

Mersea Tide Watch tells you instantly whether it's safe to cross, when the next high tide is coming, and how long you've got before Mersea becomes a proper island again.

INSTANT MERSEA HIGH TIDE STATUS Open the app and know immediately: green means go, red means no. No tide tables to decipher, no maths, no guesswork.

NO NONSENSE UPDATES Our status messages tell you what you need to know.

MADE FOR MERSEA Whether you're a local who's lived on the island for decades or a visitor after oysters and sea air, Mersea Tide Watch keeps you moving. No more guessing. No more soggy carpets. No more explaining to the AA why your Fiesta is in the estuary.

Just open the app, check the status, and go (or not).
