Remarkable Tidal Phenomenon Off Cornwall Coasts
A vivid tidal event occurred on Wednesday along Cornwall’s shores. In small harbours the tide surged at five to six mph then receded quickly, with rises of five to six feet. The Newlyn beach saw waves reaching ninety to one hundred feet. Localized effects and light winds characterized the scene, a neap tide mitigating potential damage.
