Spring Tides are the highest and occur
at or about New and Full Moon. Neap
Tides are the lowest, and occur at the
first and last quarters. Ebb Tide is that
between high and low water, lasting
on an average 7¼ hours; and Flood Tide
is that between low and high water,
lasting about 5¼ hours.
During strong north-westerly gales, the
tide marks high water earlier than is given
by the Table, and does not rise to its usual
height, while the ebb tide runs out longer
and falls lower; but upon the gales abating,
and weather moderating, they are later,
higher, and possess a greater velocity of
current, until the equilibrium is restored.
A south-westerly gale has a contrary
effect, and an easterly gives some addi-
tional water.
