Decide Which Side of the Tide to Walk That Coast Path Section

The guidebook says the crossing is passable either side of low water and leaves you to work out what that means for a nine o'clock start. This turns the tide table into two options with start times, the moment you would have to turn round, and the one that gets you across dry.

Decide whether to walk a coastal section before or after the tide turns. {ROUTE_SECTION} describes the stretch, including any causeway, tidal crossing, beach section, estuary or rock traverse. The tide times and heights for the day are [paste today's high and low water times and heights for the nearest port]. The party is [number, pace in miles per hour, anyone slow or nervous]. Work out the time window in which each tidal feature is safely passable, allow a clear margin on both sides, and state the latest safe start and the point of no return. Then give two options: the earlier walk and the later walk, each with a start time, the expected time at each tidal feature, and the specific risk that option carries. Recommend one and say what would make you abandon it. If the description lacks a detail you need, such as the height of a crossing, name it rather than estimating. Under 450 words, times in 24 hour clock, no reassurance.
