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 "virtually" 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>
