The point I was trying to make is that in harbors the wind

notice a distinct pattern where the west side of harbors
have the most silt.

When you say " distinct pattern" do you mean surface conditions like
shorter wave
lengths, no waves, ect, waves on top of shallows that might have a
shorter wave length of differnt pattern than normal, or you may see
calm in a shallow vs
waves in other areas?

The reason being, the eastern sides are
exposed to a longer fetch and this tends to make the east
sides deeper. The cause--the prevailing westerlies.

That makes sence, I bet the wave patterns are distinct and shorter
waves lengths.

Just wondering.
