Notes

Current and wind in same direction through the gap. what was interesting was the amount of current as it was meant to be high tide at that time ie 10 am.
tidal coefficient was moderate but gap between low and high was + 1.8m high to -0.5m low or a gap of 2.3m giving a coeeficient of say 65 whereas later in the month it gets to around 100 on the 15 May 2018 so imagine what the current might be at that date. Why the current anyway when it is high tide????? so should be slack?
