Other than that I didn't know much so I've learned a little today now that I'm almost 500 miles inland. :)<br />Wishing you and yours a wonderful Christmas season!Carlettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11178161514195582965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8109980962343059479.post-7086133115305491192012-12-21T07:09:05.179+10:002012-12-21T07:09:05.179+10:00That sign's pretty funny out there in the wate...That sign's pretty funny out there in the water. Extreme high tides are a little scary; I hope you find more about them. When we spent summers on the Oregon Coast, the tide table was something we consulted as regularly as the calendar, almost as regularly as the clock (we used to go crabbing and needed to know when to set and retrieve...). On the Gulf, now that we're in Florida, it doesn't even really seem like an ocean, hardly any tide at all.Sallie (FullTime-Life)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15442598857394838271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8109980962343059479.post-42370261739604620382012-12-20T23:37:20.198+10:002012-12-20T23:37:20.198+10:00I live inland so I'm fascinated to learn about...I live inland so I'm fascinated to learn about the high tides.

I think it's a bit scary, but very fascinating!<br /><br />Yes, here we still have some snow that was messy the other day, but today I think it's frozen again. Fast changes here.<br />Happy Christmas to you! /Piai stora draghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16226816452207165492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8109980962343059479.post-54542034974140863672012-12-19T20:14:23.056+10:002012-12-19T20:14:23.056+10:00Great post, loved all the photos.

As a birder here I have to check and know the daily changes in tide so as to be able to see waders - low tide, birds miles away - high tides birds up close. This happens on a 2 weekly cycle with the highest ones as "Spring" tides, nothing to do with the season, but when the high tides are very high and the low tides are very low. Good to compare notes and see your sunny, warm tides with the beauty of your beaches.

In December and January, many areas have exposed bottom which will easily support boat navigation the rest of the year.<br /><br />Basically, it's the moon's fault! The fact that northern and southern hemispheres have different low/high tidal extremes at the same time of the year has to do with the earth "tilting" more one way than another at those times.<br /><br />Hope this helps and if your research produces different information, let me know so I'll stop spouting off like I know what I'm talking about!! :)Wally Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121368850135565674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8109980962343059479.post-67034780880376822002012-12-19T09:01:25.750+10:002012-12-19T09:01:25.750+10:00Your photos are always a delight.

Visiting a place like Morocco and walk in the tides of the Atlantic ocean is amazing. But you have to be careful not to be swept away if it is windy also.

It was especially interesting to explore the Wynnum Mangrove Boardwalk. I'll post my piccies very soon too, and I will re-visit this area as apparently there is a hide further along the track which was cut off due to the high tide. I've never seen a hide and it has me intrigued!!
