Question about wave action on inland lake.
My guess is air temperature and pressure, and the water temperature.
Course, it could have been an oil slick too, or some other chemicals doing the same thing. Greg Luckett wrote in message ... Hi, I have a boat on Lake Lanier in GA. The other morning I took it out, and the overall wave action appeared to be different than usual. It was a flat calm day, except when a passing boat produced some waves. Most of the time the waves seem to be sort of peaked and a bit sharp, but on this morning they were more rounded and flatter. The first boat I noticed it from, I thought it might be simply due to the shape of the boat itself. But after a while I noticed it was true of all of them...which was cool with me because it meant I could go faster without getting tossed in the air too much. It still made me wonder *why* though. Could it have something to do with what creates high and low tides, and/or why sometimes when you dig a hole you seem to have more dirt than you took out and sometimes you seem to have less? If so, is there a way to predict when waves will tend to be sharper and when they will tend to be flatter, like people can predict high and low tides? -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |
