Cool stuff.
Down in Hilton Head, the area of the island where we stay sees average tide changes of 6.5' or so. Some neap tides can see a little less than 5' differences, but the highest of spring tides can have upwards of 9' difference. It's really interesting to see just how much the landscape changes due to those huge swings, even if it is frustrating as hell for a fisherman like me who's stuck on a kayak or just fishing off the beach into a raging salt creek.
I always feel uncomfortable when not getting on the board early, but I’m not overly concerned right now.
But I reserve the right to moan incessantly when I’ve only been fringed by about 7:00 this evening.
I use RadarScope, as well, but I have no idea how to use most of the options/outputs on it. One thing I don’t like is the lack of a composite national radar, but for being able to view your local radar, it’s pretty great.
Kind of how I feel.
I mean...it’s hot, but not crazy. I’m sure it’ll be death tomorrow, or we’ll spike on a west wind at like 5:15 this afternoon, but for now I’m not all that worked up over it.
