When would be the best time for VP tide-wise?

high tide to medium, definitely not low tide - too far to carry the gear, but someone who has more local knowledge will give better advise. I have managed to get the tide wrong on a few occasions there

ikw777 - sailed VP today - High tide 1pm, slow start about 1:30 with the odd gust, wind came up about 2:30 sailed till 4, really good. Used the old Caveman for something different.

Just about had it all to myself when Jinxy turned up after 3.

Hope its ok tomorrow, forecast looks like its easing off......

heading there soon, the tide is high today so i'm thinking it should be ok?

looking out the window there are white caps. prob 12-15 knots. not really enough for the 95lt board but that's all i have at the moment so i'm going none the less.

Glad you ended up having a good day. Martin was the jinx plus my hangover didn't help. Still was enjoyable to get a few plane rides during the day. yesterday was the better of the days for me. Hopefully this is just the start of the summer SE's.
