not public output, returns this

"Secure Connection Failed

Works for me, though you'll have to get Google to translate it.

Very small tides at the moment.

Very true , but if you look in the BODC archives for the Sheerness
tidegauge. It is very easy to get 2 or 3m surges there (from the
shelving of the Dogger etc), so whatever the general astronomic
neap/spring situation is, the surge can well overtop it .
I'm only familiar with wind and surges in the English Channel and the
approaches, not the North Sea. I don't know whether all the wind stress
on the east side of the North Sea 26 Dec , circulates the resultant
surge around the south of the North Sea, along Holland and Belgium
coasts and into to the Thames area. The west going surge in the channel
is not so significant because its sort of anti-shelving, anti-funelling
in the Channel.
