High Tide — live high tide times, a digital twin of the chalk sign on the Leigh-on-Sea cockle sheds

High Tide

a digital twin · LE HAYE

On the cockle sheds at Leigh-on-Sea there is a small blackboard. Somebody walks out each morning and chalks up the time of the day's high tide. It has been quietly useful to that stretch of the estuary for years.

This is that sign, digitised. Not a replacement — a twin. The board stays, the chalk stays, the person walking out each morning stays. There is a QR sticker beside it, and this is what it opens.

The time on the board here is the next high tide, read from live tide data, and it works anywhere on the coast — so the sign can be useful to Leigh and to everyone else at the same time.
