You will see seaweed that is an astonishing shade of iridescent green. You can climb into sea caves here and look out at the bay. You’ll walk over rocks encrusted with tiny barnacles (they’re almost like a spa treatment if you’re barefoot), and have closeup and personal encounters with hundreds of tiny hermit crabs, busily dragging their houses around rock pools warmed from the sun. When the tide is out, you are walking on ground that will soon be covered with so much water that all but the top of the large “Flowerpot” rock formation will be swallowed by the sea.įrom the minute you climb down the stone stairs (which are underwater when the tide is in), you will feel as if you’re on another planet. It allows for the rare and amazing experience of essentially walking on the ocean floor. About 160 billion tonnes of water flow in and out of the basin twice a day. This part of the Bay of Fundy is home to the highest tide range in the world, averaging about 38.4 feet (about 12 meters), with a record of around 53 feet (16 meters). Walk past the lighthouse, past the apple trees, and you’ll see a lookoff that gives you a phenomenal, unobstructed view of Cape Split in the distance, as well as Cobequid Bay. It’s unbelievably quiet there, even when there are lots of people. When you get to Burntcoat Head Park, you’ll walk over a green, treed hill.

In the open ocean tidal currents are relatively weak.When you drive onto Burntcove Road, you’ll see an amazing vista to your right: a vast red clay landscape stretching out into the distance. It’s part of the Bay of Fundy, and if you see red, the tide is out. The weakest currents occur between the flood and ebb currents and are called slack. Large coefficients indicate important high and low tides major currents and movements usually take place on the sea bed. The strongest flood and ebb currents usually occur before or near the time of the high and low. The following graph shows the progression of the tidal coefficient in the month of July of 2022.These values give us a rough idea of the tidal amplitude in Dover, forecast in July. The incoming tide along the coast and into the bays and estuaries is called a flood current the outgoing is called an ebb current. The difference in height between the high and the low tide is called the tidal range.Ī horizontal movement of water often accompanies the rising and falling of the tide. When the highest part, or crest of the wave reaches a particular location, high tide occurs low tide corresponds to the lowest part of the wave, or its trough.

They originate in the oceans and progress toward the coastlines where they appear as the regular rise and fall of the sea surface. The following pages describe the tremendous forces that cause the world’s tides, and why it is important for us to understand how they work.īasically, tides are very long-period waves that move through the oceans in response to the forces exerted by the moon and sun. As the sun rises in the east and the stars come out at night, we are confident that the ocean waters will regularly rise and fall along our shores. Tides are one of the most reliable phenomena in the world. They are not certified to be correct, and they do not incorporate the effects of tropical storms, El Niño, seismic events, continental drift, or changes in global sea level.
