The tidal spectacular - 30 feet in 30 minutes


Having heard all about the spectacular tidal changes we decided we had better go and see it with our own eyes. Along with about 30 others we went to the lookout point to watch the tide coming in at 11.20am. It didn't happen until 11.45am but none the less we saw the wave approaching as the incoming tide rushes over the top of the natural flow of the river. Within the space of about 30 mins the entire channel was filled and the water level rose about 30 feet.
