SmugMug > keywords > st peter port > This image shows the St. Peter Port, Guernsey waterfront 27 minutes after high water on 10 March 2008.  The high tide was already receding.  High water was forecast for 9.8 metres at 0815 but because the barometric pressure had fallen to 973 mb Hg the tide rose to 10.7 metres according to the St. Peter Port harbour master, Captain Peter Gill. The wind was from the south-west and as St. Peter Port is on the east coast it was sheltered from the strong winds.  The high tide closed the waterfront main road to vehicles for about one hour.
