The River Tyne flows through Newcastle-Upon-Tyne which is 9nm from the sea. The river has a maintained depth of 4.5 meters as far as Newcastle Quayside and the City Marina. The Millennium (foot) bridge lies towards the east end of Newcastle Quayside and allows an air draught of 4.5 meters in it's normal position but this increases to 25 meters when tilted. There are three marinas on the river as well as trot moorings at various points along the river banks and a couple of anchorages immediately inside the harbor walls. The river flows rapidly in strong tides, reaching 3 knots on the ebb around the quayside and 2.5 knots on the flood.

Weather
Give local weather conditions or refer to another page (a region or island group) that covers these conditions. The River Tyne is on the East coast of England and therefore winds with some westerly component usually give rise to the best sailing conditions at sea. The river itself is sheltered however strong northerly or easterly winds can produce rough conditions and make the harbour entrance dangerous.
Sources for weather reports:
- Inshore Forecast for Berwick Upon Tweed to Whitby
- Shipping Forecast for Tyne
- Costal Forecast for Berwick Upon Tweed to Whitby
- VHF: The coastguard broadcasts a forecast approximately every 4 hours after first announcing the channel to use on VHF 16
