Default Big Tides, Swell & Murk

Very big spring tides the last couple of days, size decreasing now.
Luckily it's not been rough, and the pressure's been reasonably high.
Still not a good idea to park on the Abbey Slip though.

Pleasant enough day yesterday, spells of hazy sunshine raised the
temperature to 15.1C. Might top 16C today, but damp drizzly & misty.
It looks like the temperature will stick near 15C much of the evening
& night. Swell's picked up markedly though www.sennen-cove.com/todaysurf.htm
- makes quite a change.

[OT] but I find this a vaguely depressing time of year. Virtually all
the small boats are out of Penzance harbour & in the harbour car/boat
park now. The baulks go down in the harbour mouth at Mousehole
tomorrow, to stop storm waves surging into the village over the
winter. Although the waves do a pretty goood job at taking the direct
route sometimes. www.easterling.freeserve.co.uk/PzStorm.PDF

Time to get on with all the decorating & maintenance jobs.

Graham, I was wondering, are these high tides higher and more regular
nowadays, or just a normal occurance?
