Although only a couple of miles offshore, a number of conflicting tidal streams and a sandbank provide predictable, albeit often dangerous, large waves and a disturbed sea.

He worked not only on the theory of wind waves but also on the geomagnetic induction of voltages by tidal streams, and on the generation of oceanic microseisms.
43.
As the bed of the estuary starts to rise and the sides continue to converge, the bore forms and begins to surge up the river in a tidal stream.

Pacific crevalle jack are also common in estuaries, usually as juveniles which preferentially inhabit these environments, but also as adults that make their way into brackish waters and tidal streams.

The False Creek race course, being an inlet of English Bay and the Strait of Georgia of the Pacific ocean is subject to twice daily tidal streams or tidal currents.
46.
The Bolsa Chica wetlands are the largest remaining coastal wetlands in California between Monterey Bay and the mouth of the Tijuana River, with of salt flats, lagoons and tidal streams.
47.
The entrance to the harbour is deep with a fast tidal stream and to the east of the main harbour entrance channel is a gravel bank known as The Winner.
48.
The depth of the Small Strait varies from 12 to 15 ?fathoms and is free from navigational changes in the fairway but strong and irregular tidal streams make navigation hazardous.
49.
There are treacherous tidal streams on either side of the island : the Swinge between Alderney and Burhou, just outside the harbour, and Le Raz between the island and the Normandy mainland.

Tidal stream generators ( or TSGs ) make use of the kinetic energy of moving water to power turbines, in a similar way to wind turbines that use wind to power turbines.
