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.
