This is an interesting video from our ABC. Note the mention of tide height. I've never seen the presenter before but he does a well enough job.
At 12 metres/49' I thought we had the highest tides in the world but no. For that you must visit the east coast of Canada, to the Bay of Fundy (thanks Jackie) with its shores being in both Nova Scotia and New Brunswick provinces where tides can be up to 17 metres/56'.
Check out this video with commentary and time lapse video.
Or this purely visual and luscious video.
I don't know if I should continue to occasionally publish posts like this. They take time to get things right, and find the right clips, let alone that I am using the work others.

That middle video, I've been there. It is truly amazing and you have to pay attention to the tide.
ReplyDeleteThat was very interesting. I find tides and their power amazing.
ReplyDeleteIn the eighties Blondie sang, "The Tide Is High". Perhaps Debbie Harry was thinking of The Bay of Fundy.
ReplyDeleteNova Scotia and New Brunswick are rugged provinces, handsome to visit but a bit cold for me. We had a blogger reunion in New Brunswick in the middle 1990s.
ReplyDeleteThis is the first I've heard of the horizontal tides or the Bay of Fundy, so thanks for allowing me to find out about them.
ReplyDeleteYou are sharing their videos which in turn may make them more money with more views - if they get paid for content.
ReplyDeleteHorizontal waterfall in WA, we nearly went there, you have to fly but we didn't make it.
Perhaps it is because I live no where near the sea. But I never realized that all high tides were not created equal.
ReplyDeleteFascinating but scary.
ReplyDeleteWe visited Round Stone in Ireland, and low tide the fishing boats in the harbour were sitting in the mud.
ReplyDeleteAmazing videos. I'd never heard of the Horizontal Waterfall or the Bay of Fundi before. Thanks for posting this.
ReplyDeleteThat last video was amazing. I got to thinking fifty feet is like ten of me all stacked up. And that happens twice a day there!
ReplyDeleteOUr local university, in Corvallis, has been testing wave energy devices and one has just opened and is connected to the grid. I don't know how they situate like the Bay of Fundy has, in tidal power, if they have gone slow and steady, to be sure we're not creating by destroying.
ReplyDeleteI would hope so, Strayer, but we shouldn't make assumptions.
DeleteHi Andrew, thank you for sharing these videos. I will look at them after I finish supper a bit later on.
