Went for a long walk around Canewdon and came accross a traffic queue
waiting for the tide to go down before attemting to travel further. Both
the Environmental Agency and Police were stopping the traffic. This is
the road onto Wallasea Island.

Yes, very large tides at the moment. Fortunately it's pretty calm down
here. Very different swell forecast for next week end when the swell
may peak at 30' over west Cornwall, western Ireland & the outer
Hebrides. http://magicseaweed.com/UK-Ireland-MSW-Surf-Charts/1/
Luckily small tides then. If it comes off it will be the first
reallybig swell of the autumn here.

North Westerlies coupled with spring tides (full moon was Saturday) is
the normal recipe (eg, as per two weeks earlier).

Astronomical tide is actually a fair bit bigger than it was 2 weeks
ago (which was a small spring). Large spring tides typically (though
not always) occur every 4 weeks.
