Venice Tide Info
 
Does anyone know of an online site to get tidal information for Venice? High/Low times.

Hi Rick,<BR> Will you be boating, or are you concerned about high water flooding?

These are good places for reference.<BR><BR>http://www.comune.venezia.it/maree/oggi.asp?F=nf_b<BR><BR>http://www.veniceword.com/weather.html

Hi<BR><BR>There are virtually no tides.<BR><BR>Water level is influenced by wind and air pressure.<BR><BR>Peter<BR>http://tlp.netfirms.com

Wrong, Peter<BR>The city is in a TIDAL BASIN and is completely affected by tides and the moon phase. Was just there last spring and had to wade back to the hotel.<BR>Concierge explained all. It is interesting, though.

Hi<BR><BR>Tides, as I understand them, are caused by phases of the moon, and time of year. <BR><BR>They are most noticeable where large oceans shallow near land. They result in typical water level differences of 10m (33ft).<BR><BR>The Med, (and the Baltic) have little tide.<BR><BR>Note I said &quot;virtually&quot; no tides. <BR><BR>High Med water levels are more influenced by air pressure and wind.<BR><BR>Why did I answer this question ? I used to live on the Baltic, and now live on the Med. I have a sailing boat here. Knowledge of tides is part of navigation.<BR><BR>Peter<BR>http://tlp.netfirms.com<BR><BR>
