TIDAL STREAMS AND HEIGHTS. The S. Kilda River originates some miles N of the harbour in the highlands of Creech Barrow. When in spate the river has a major influence on the water movement in the marina. S. Kilda Marina office will give present conditions on request. The tidal stream within S. Kilda Bay tends to be weak and circulatory in nature, with a clockwise circulation when the main tidal stream is flowing SE and anti-clockwise when the stream is flowing NW. Shallowest depth on approach 1.1m on the southern side of the bridge. The marina is dredged to 2.0m.
