1. Cautions. In strong W gales, the whole area between the outlying rocks off Noirmont Point is a confused mass of breakers; marks at sea level, the beacons marking rocks may be obscured by driving spray.
When navigating the passages leading through the reefs, particular attention should be paid to the following: the height of tide, as some of the recommended tracks pass close to or over shallow patches; the strong set of the tidal streams across the reefs in an E and W direction; the difficulty in identifying some leading marks in poor visibility and without local knowledge.
2. Two sets of leading marks mark N stretch of the channel; the inward leading marks (pole beacons; black and white bands) lie on the N side of the channel, 2 cables N of Seymours Post, and the outward leading marks (pole beacons; red and white bands) lie on the S side of the channel.
3. Directions. To approach the harbour, steer on the alignment of the leading light-towers, bearing 219°, which leads between the buoys and beacons marking the approach channel. The leading marks are not very conspicuous and care should be taken not to mistake the low white light-structure standing on the head of the S jetty for the front leading light-tower which is within the harbour. When within 2 or 3 cables off the harbour entrance, depending on the height of tide, the leading marks will be obscured by the S pier and course should be shaped to enter harbour.
4. Anchorage. There is anchorage in Lymington Road in depths of about 7m., sand and mud, with Basket light-beacon bearing 326°, distant about 8 cables. There is better anchorage and less tidal stream here than in Garmout Road on the opposite coast. Anchorage is prohibited in Lymington River.
