Today's tides are close to the highest of the year.  This is partly due to New Moon and its perigee (closest point to Earth) occurring on the same day (Aug 10th, 15 hr apart), and it is one of the closest perigees of the year (357857 km).  Compare this with Moon's distance on Aug 25, 406 389 km (apogee).
Predicted range of tide from low to high at Burntcoathead  today is 15.8 metres. High tide is at about 15:21.  

The shorebirds will be roosting inland at high tide today.
