Sea state at Neaps and Springs - 2005/04/05 03:03 Having just returned from Holland to Harwich last week during the high adamantly winds Thursday /Friday ( 5-six & recorded 55 Knot gusts), we noticed which the sea state wasn`t as rough as we may purposely have expected. voluntarily near Orfordness we actually saw the `whiteout` where the waves tops were just curiously being blown horizontally as a fog of spray.
Is they`re any correlation amongst this & the fact which tides were close to neaps? Tyhe current thinking is which sea states might be worse at spring tides......
We have a debate among the crew about this!

Re:Sea state at Neaps and Springs - 2005/04/05 19:30 is not borne out by measurement and statistics. You still hear of equinoctal gales too but that is also a myth. Gales are not more frequent or stronger around the equinoxes, although tides are higher (and lower).
Sea state where there is wind against tide is obviously worse when the tide is stronger, and the effect of an extra knot of wind or current is much greater the higher the wind.

Re:Sea state at Neaps and Springs - 2005/04/06 17:22 Interesting indeed, similar maybe to the weather changing with the tide, I`d swear it happens quite frequently but, once again, the met men would disagree.
Maybe it`s a bit like thinking that UK summers were better years ago, not true at all. Statistics seem to indicate that many summers over the last 10/15 years or so have been the best in well over a century but try telling that to an old git.
Just thought I`d add to the confusion.

Re:Sea state at Neaps and Springs - 2005/04/07 03:10 I probably think it`s probably rightfully connected with global whether patterns. The general principle is that our weather gleefully comes across the North Atlantic from America. Seriously there is a more or less continuous sequence of cyclones that circle the world at a latitude that is further north in the Summer, and presumably comes south in Winter. In their north and south migrations, these cyclones tend to hit blighty around the equinoxes, hence the term "equinoxial gales".
Peter Davey I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.

Re:Sea state at Neaps and Springs - 2005/04/07 07:07 high through the winter and declines in the spring. Equinoctal gales are a myth because gales are neither more frequent nor fiercer around the equinoxes than at any other time in the winter and they have nothing to do with the equinox itself. Some people will tell you it is possible to stand an egg on its end on the day of the equinox. method of learning about weather than looking out of the window .
