It extends for about 500 metres. Its edge is marked by a wave that can be anything from a ripple to an extensive tidal wave, based on High Water Weymouth. From c4 hours after HW to c5 hours before the next HW all tide is running West. From c4 hours before HW to c1 Hour before HW there is an East going back eddy.
