Ramsgate tides

The videos below are of an ordinary spring tide with a northerly blowing it away, things get much worse with a south easterly or southerly especially when combined with a tidal surge, caused by a high pressure system over the north sea pushing down on the water and sending a lot more to Ramsgate.    
The videos may take a little while to appear depending on how fast youtube is running. Amusingly you can watch all the videos at once.



The Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory (POL), conducts world-class research in tides. As you can see from their graphs for Dover the sea here has already risen quite a bit.
