shak4g63 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Hi guys I noticed the cooks river just now and the water level was up to the grass at Illawarra road. Wish I had a rid with me but working, oh well. Anyone else notice this? Tight lines, Shakeel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srudds100386 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Tides will be big for the next few days. Hopefully fishing is good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LungFai Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Does the Comet that is flying by have anything to do with the huge tide? Been wondering if it would affect the magnetic pull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sifisho Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Everything floating in space will exert some gravitational force on the earth and will therefore impact on tides. However the mass of the comet would be so small its going to be miniscule and completely unnoticeable. This is a list of the various planets and the sun and their relative contribution to gravitational force on earth (sun = 1):- Moon 2.1 Sun 1.00 Venus 0.000113 Jupiter 0.0000131 Mars 0.0000023 Mercury 0.0000007 Saturn 0.0000005 Uranus 0.000000001 Neptune 0.000000002 Pluto 0.0000000000001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yowie Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 The biggest morning tides are around christmas, and the biggest night time tides are in the middle of the year. Happens every year, nothing to do with comets, climate change, or any comments by Tim Flannery or the other galoots like him around the world.

Jewhunter Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Exactly right. It's not summer yet, even if our 'normal' portrayal of summer makes us think so. Look at the equinoxes. Summer equinox is around Dec 21st. Autumn equinox is around Mar 21st. Winter equinox is around June 21st Spring equinox is around Sept 21st. Our largest tides always coincide with our new/full moon phases. A new or full moon phase around our equinoxes are the reasons for our big tides. During the Autumn equinox the tides swing around to bigger night time tides. Obviously summer is the opposite. So called 'King' tides always occur at Xmas. They are also a great time to fish. Remember, no run no fun! Cheers, Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadrianfry Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I thought this tide was due to the cyclone off fiji? Does this mean there will be another one closer to christmas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewhunter Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I thought this tide was due to the cyclone off fiji? Does this mean there will be another one closer to christmas? It's got nothing to do with cyclones, comets or the end of the world! Bigger tides again around Xmas. Tide phases are every 2 weeks. Full moon on the 29th. It's important to know this as the moon affects ALL fishing. Cheers, Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
