Sorry to have to ask for more help with questions on water, tide movement etc but cannot seem to grasp an understanding unless the wording of explanation is pretty basic.
Am trying to understand the water flow of Saratoga Creek approx 1 hour after high tide. Does the water flow from the tidal basin consistently flow out towards sea? Or does it wax & wane? Also, would anyone know the depth of tidal basin?
Have searched for such information but what comes up is mostly charts/graphs....not much help when words alone draw a blank. TIA
I too have been looking for water movement. I did come by this description of an experience at Back Beach which is 4 miles to the north of Long Beach. Each beach may have it's own unique movements but this gives us a good description of being in the water. I also included the moon chart...it was almost new moon so the tides were stronger.
