Re: [Paddlewise] Constricted Bay Entrances

It will be slack water at the mouth of the bay when the water depth on
either side of the inlet equalizes.  Because of the constriction at the
mouth, which impedes the exchange of water between the bay and the ocean,
equal depth will not occur at high or low tide but at some time in between.
