The spring tide on Monday is in the top 15 percent
of all high water heights predicted for this year


Actually, it's one of the 5 highest tides of the year at Newquay,
putting it in the top 1% of tides this year. You have to wait until
October for a tide as high as Monday morning's to occur again.

Bad timing I'd say.

For Portsmouth there are 105 predicted tides of 4.7m or higher in 2008,
Monday is predicted as 4.7m.
About 710 tides in the year, so I make it about 15 percent.
I can't believe that Newquay is that much different in that aspect of the
tides.
I will run Xtide32 for Newquay tomorrow and see what emerges



I was confusing Portsmouth and Southampton data, 4.7m predicted for Soton,
Monday for Monday.

For Pompey it is 4.8m predicted , 56 tides of 4.8m or more so about top 8
per cent
