If the size of the basins on either side (one draining, one filling) are
the same, and the tidal period is the same, yes there will be a greater
current to switch the height from one to the other if the difference is
6 ft vs 2ft.

hi all,
i have a question regarding tides and curent speeds. after searching
the web and finding way too much info on the subject I decided i'd
just ask someone in this here group. here goes. if a high tide and a
low tide have a difference of 6 feet will the current speed be greater
than if they had a difference of 2 feet? i know there's more factors
involved here but i just need the dirty basics. thanks! -rob
