Hope you don't mind but I've filched your list and re-based it on Portsmouth tide times because it covers just about everywhere I'm likely to sail.

Some fascinating stuff coming out on here and it has piqued my inquisitiveness so I'm now having a good old rummage on the internet.

If you read French, a very, very interesting description about how the tidal wave approaches the Channel, is then refracted, modifed by obstacles, how anomalous tidal curves are formed, interpretation of the influence of the various harmonic constants... until it eventually spreads out into the North sea
Page 7 for an interpretation of Dover tides harm. components

it's a thread >10 pages long, all with messages from the same person, sort of "Tidal monologue"

No problem. I use Dover as my tide base because in the 'central' Channel area the tide turns with HW Dover.
