An old fable was that where the railway crossed the road at Petit Port there was a house with hidden treasure guarded by a dog.

Les Ecrehous spring tide
|
|
roughly an eleven metre rise and fall of tide. There is another on the 7th of October
For information on British tides: http://www.glaucus.org.uk/Tides.htm
(1) Highest Spring Tides - Moon and Sun in conjunction, with combined gravitational pull producing the highest tides. High tides on the opposite side are due to the centrifugal force of the Earth's rotation.
The highest tides in England occur about two days after the New Moon.
(2) Neap Tides - Moon's orbit moves towards 90° to that of the Sun, when they are at quadrature, and their relative pulls, about 7 to 3 in favour of the Moon, result in Neap tides, with smaller variations.
(3) Spring Tides - Moon and Sun in opposition, with combined gravitational pull.
(4) Neap Tides - Moon's orbit moves toward the quadrature.
The gathering of ormers in Jersey is restricted to certain phases of the moon.

Spring tide - Les Ecrehous
|
|
Some more shots to follow of todays spring tide which was the lowest I have seen for some years.
The BBC filmed on saturday for a new nature series, should be good with one million pounds worth of film gear and some seriously dedicated camera men with help from Jersey Tourism.
