Extreme low tides were observed on the northern shores

The abnormal depression phenomenon

About a year and a half ago, we reported on the "Hai Fe" website about an unusual low tide that lasted over two weeks and disturbed many residents of the area. Residents feared that this was a sign of a tsunami, but it is important to understand that a low tide before a tsunami lasts about an hour, and not on the order of such a time.

Abnormal tides: today's disturbing phenomenon

On Sunday 30/6/24, residents reported another strange and unusual phenomenon - tidal waves on a particularly disturbing scale. The phenomenon occurred in a state of absolute silence: no wind, no storm, and no high waves. Despite this, the water flooded the entire length of the Kiryat beach to its end.

The possible reasons

The barometric pressure was extremely low, 980 millibars, equivalent to a winter low and a serious winter storm. Although there is no immediate danger in this phenomenon, it has effects on local activity. The company that feeds sand in Kiryat had to deal with a situation of leakage, in which the sand becomes muddy and makes work difficult.

Tides: natural and interesting phenomena

Tides and tides are natural phenomena that are mainly influenced by the elements of the sky. There are cases of extreme low tides and extreme high tides, but phenomena like those reported on Sunday are rare and particularly disturbing.

Conclusions and Summary

Dealing with such natural phenomena can be challenging, but it is important to keep calm and keep up to date with available information. We will continue to report on strange, interesting and fascinating phenomena, and provide up-to-date information to the residents of the area.

Have a good week everyone!

  1. I checked, and the moon is supposed to reach the closest point in its orbit around the earth on Wednesday, July 24.7.2024, XNUMX. Until then, the tides will increase. It is possible that in terms of the tilt of the earth on its axis, the Mediterranean Sea is at a point closer to the moon now. Since the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea is narrow, and very far from Israel, it is possible that during high tide in the Gibraltar area, water will enter the Mediterranean Sea beyond the normal volume of water (because the height of the tide in the Atlantic Ocean is much greater than the tide in the Mediterranean Sea), water which will remain trapped in the sea for many hours, but at high tide will reach to an unusual height.

  2. I was on Friday at Dado Beach in Haifa, there is no sign of jellyfish, thank God. Wonderful water and not turbulent compared to the beaches of Haifa in the summer.
    Where did the jellyfish go?

  3. I was at the time of the 2004 tsunami in India
    I was in the west coast/Goa. There was no tsunami but the sea went wrong
    the beauty

  4. I was wrong, the water rises during high tide at San Michele Beach in Nomady, on the shore of the English Channel, by 12 meters, not a meter as I wrote

  5. We saw maximum low and high tides in Normandy on the shore of the Lemanche Canal, where at high tide the water rises to a height of more than a meter,

  6. After the construction of the Chinese port there in Kiryat Haim, anything is possible. Only God forbid there won't be a major natural disaster there...everything is possible!

    • Hello Miriam.
      In the meantime, the new breakwater only made the water in Kiryat clean and animals returned....from leatherbacks to molluscs including octopuses.

  7. On 30/06/24 the sea turned rough, in front of the Leonardo Hotel in Haifa, waves were seen covering the entire breakwater and dozens of surfers went down to the beaches.
    Therefore, in my opinion, giving an example of that stormy day is completely not a tide in calm waters. It is a stormy day par excellence.

    • hello uncle The article mentions Kiryat Haim beach. There the waves were really weak but long and their level was high and did not fit the structure of the beach...that is, a step in front of the beach. An unusual shock and good for surfers. Look here for my article about an unusual and strange low tide.

  8. Hi Muti, in addition to what I wrote earlier, there seems to be a typographical error in the article. It says that the barometer showed 980 millibars, but when the picture is enlarged it shows almost 990 millibars, very similar to the barometric map on the Windy website for the same time. If the event was not caused by ship waves as I suspected, there is also the possibility of a small atmospheric fluctuation to create a micro meteo tsunami. This has nothing to do with the sea level rise in our country and in the world, which is definitely rising and is expected to rise at an accelerated rate.

    • hello bear
      I was indeed at sea for a few hours and there was no sailing activity of any vessels, no ship was recorded for any civilian or military ship and the sea level was more reminiscent of the rocking of a bathtub.
      But I had to point out that the photo of the barometer is only to simulate a measuring device three hours late, so this is the only mistake.

  9. The phenomenon reported by Muti is not related to any event in the part caused by the influence of the gravitational force of the moon and the sun, called astronomical solstices, and it turns out that, apparently, it is also not related to the contribution of the atmospheric depression that prevailed at the time, based on tests I conducted today. It turns out that the effect of the atmospheric depression, which is the meteorological part (residual) was predicted over most of the eastern basin of the Mediterranean both a few days before the reported event and still today and also the astronomical part of the sea dates was not unusual and greater levels were before 30.6.2024/30.6.2024/7 and After (see photos attached in the link) the phenomenon reported by Muti is not related to any event in the part caused by the influence of the gravitational force of the moon and the sun, which is called astronomical tides, and it turns out that it is probably not in the contribution of the atmospheric depression either, based on tests I conducted today. It turns out that the effect of the atmospheric depression, called part Meteorological rates (residual) were predicted over most of the eastern basin of the Mediterranean both a few days before the reported event and still today, and the astronomical part of the sea dates was not unusual and there were greater levels before and after June XNUMX, XNUMX (see attached photos and available for XNUMX days in the link https://jumbomail.me/j/JhWJRfzoAkmVMO4). Therefore, I believe this was caused by the movement of a fast ship along the coasts at the time reported, see the graphs in this link because I did not know how to upload them here. It should be noted that I did not find the sea level measurements on the date in question 30-6-2024 available on the Internet, but only for the port of Alexandria in Egypt and the Batron anchorage in Lebanon, even though there is a real-time station in Hadera that I established in 1992 and even though I caused the donation of 3 real-time sea level stations from the Institute for Joint Research of the European Union and which were operated by the Israel Defense Forces but today they do not transmit and it is not clear whether they work at all, which is a shame.) Therefore, I believe that this was caused by the movement of a fast and large ship along the coasts at the reported time, see the graphs in this link because I did not know how to upload It should be noted that the sea level measurements on the date in question 30-6-2024 were not available on the Internet but only for the port of Alexandria in Egypt and the Batron anchorage in Lebanon, even though there is a real-time station in Hadera that I established in 1992 and even though I caused the institute to donate 3 real-time sea level stations. for a joint study of the European Union and which were operated by the Israel Defense Forces but today they do not broadcast if they work at all, which is a shame.

  10. Nice article Moti.
    In my opinion, it is important to pay attention to such fundamental changes
    We look forward to hearing updates in the future
    Thanks

    • Shabbat Shalom Shay
      Thank you very much, there are indeed serious changes and it seems that there will be many more changes in Israel..
