Lake Tyers Beach Tides | |
What is the tide? another handy reference |
The
tides don't follow the moon exactly, there is a slight delay as the
moon is pulling the water around, like a phase delay. Also, the highest
tides are about three days after the New and Full moon. The best local conditions site for Lakes Entrance Tide Prediction for Lakes Entrance |

Don't
forget the locality's tides are moderated by the swell.
Prevaling
winds or storms can enhance or moderate tidal activity. The movement in
and out of the Lakes systems to the sea (when they are open) are also
effected by the prevailing winds and swell (both duration and time).
This can cause
considerable deviations from the theoretical tide chart predictions. Check the weather page to see the recent 12hr wind speed and directions. |

Wikipedia - Tides This shows the common pattern of two tidal peaks in a day, though remember that the repeat time is not exactly twelve hours but 12.4206 hours. The two peaks are not equal: the twin tidal bulges beneath the moon and on the far side of the earth are aligned with the moon. |
