Question: Judging High Tide by the Moon
"Walt" wrote
For instance, try comparing Virginia Beach, VA and Solomon's Island, MD . Moonrise/set times are within a couple of minutes of each other, but the tides are six hours out of synch. Why? Well, obviously it takes some time for the large bulge of water that is the tide to make its way up the Chesapeake Bay. Since water doesn't move instantly, moonrise is essentially useless for predicting tides on large bays. I ask Uncle NOAA for tide info. Scotty |
