Aberdeen tides (updated
July 2026) Many thanks to Alistair Aitken of ABC who in July 2026 rewrote the spreadsheet for calculating tidal limits. The updated version results in more restrictions of safe rowing limits taking into account the significant changes in the profile and bed of the river over recent years. You can compare the old and new paramaters here 2026 Tides (NEW) 2027 Tides (NEW) 2028 Tides (NEW) 2029 Tides (NEW) 2030 Tides (NEW) (and that is the last one on website) Unfortunately, my previous source of free data is no longer available but I did manage to download 16 years-worth of data (2016-2030) whilst this was active. Link to on-line tidal prediction Spreadsheet of raw tidal data 2016 - 2030 Copy of NEW Excel spreadsheet for calculating Aberdeen rowing limits for NON leap years (2027 example) (you can paste raw data from the raw-data spreadsheet) Copy of NEW Excel spreadsheet for calculating Aberdeen rowing limits for LEAP years (2028 example) (you can paste raw data from the raw-data spreadsheet) |

Ergo pace calculator > Confused about your UT2 / UT1 / AT bands? > Done a 2k test, wonder what pace you should aim for on a 5k piece? This spreadsheet can answer these and other questions about target zone training. It incorporates a calculator for 'Paul's Law' (see spreadsheet for details and references). > Suggestion for use: Download the file and then save and use locally. I had to lie about my age(!) to get an appropriate value for my maximum heart rate (MHR) but the table then seemed to produce appropriate banding. Row ergo training Calculator (Excel spreadsheet) |
