Portobello is a coastal location in Edinburgh, one of 3 Edinburgh spots covered by NippyIndex.

The shore faces broadly north, so it is most open to wind and swell arriving from the north.

As a tidal location, its tide predictions are referenced to the nearest tidal station, Leith, about 3 miles away.

NippyIndex draws on published marine and weather data (sea state, wave information and water temperature) and UKHO tidal predictions.
