From memory, if you get there about 2hrs after high tide there
will be stuff appearing. The more the tide goes out, the more
features you have to play on, but the features do change at the
tide changes. Similarly on the flood as well, features (the steps)
dissapear and the surf wave on the main face changes.
High tide Chester is about 1hr 8min after high tide liverpool
