Next message: Frank Reed: "Re: Moon lining up for big tides on June 22?"
"Highest tide
will occur on June 24 at 35.8 feet. While it looks like they would be
exceptionally high, based on the data in the nautical almanac, they are not.
I have seen them much higher in my part of the world."
Higher normal tides or higher storm surge tides? Since the astronomical
factors are nearly maximal at the end of June, these should be close to the
highest normal tides (the highest predicted). Meteorological factors can easily
add to these or subtract for that matter, but those are unpredictable (as
unpredictable as the weather at least).
