- The Menai Strait is geologically, biologically and culturally important. It is also home to our School of Ocean Sciences.
To celebrate teaching and research excellence at this institution, and the recent opening of the Marine Centre Wales building, a short film was produced in collaboration with CADARN on “The Tides of the Menai Strait”.
Our film shows stunning time-lapse footage of the tides in the Menai Strait over 24 hours. We use animation to show how the tides work - as Sir Issac Newton envisaged them over 300 years ago. Finally, we demonstrate how important the tides are on a global scale, by using a simple laboratory experiment.

To add to the comments, I am 5 decades into this life, and this is the first time someone actually explained the details as to WHY the tides behave the way they do. Brilliant!
Also, “The Swellies”. Best name ever!
well that was brilliant. well explained and diagrams even I can get my head around.
I live on the Menai Straits and found this lesson so interesting wish we had teachers when I was in school who could explain things so clearly 🤣. Thanks very informative didn't know how it worked till now.
This is the first time I have seen tides explained, and explained superbly well. Normally everyone just says the tides are from the moon as though that explains something. Many thanks!
dude, thats the best explanation Ive ever seen, absolutely great help for me.
Thanks for your time.
Stopping at 4:22 to answer with what you have explained so far ..... the advance is one twenty seventh of a day, but I know this habitually to be circa 50 minutes daily, plus or minus for Neaps and Springs, and also for inertial reaction lag. Excellent graphical model and description. Brilliant. Kind regards.
What an excellent video. I see now that the high tides are basically on opposite sides of the earth to each other. I used to think it was just on the one side closest to the moon due to gravity. This video clearly explains the other major forces. Thank you very much!!
What a wonderful
BRILLIANT, thank you
Brilliant!!! Nice one boys and girls!! Thank you.....

Well done!
I’ve no memory of ever seeing water flowing through the strait, explain that eggheads.
Tides well explained but doesn't help you to understand the specific tides of the Menai strait whereby the direction of flow is also impacted by the morphology of the sea bed.
I recon the late Great Carl Sagan, would have explained it a bit more clearly.
I picked up the jist of what he was explaining between the Earth and the Moon, but it could have been made a bit clearer.
So the Earth is flat (5:10) after all!
Correction: the lunar month is between 28 and 29 days NOT the mentioned 27 days.
I believe he is talking about Sidereal Lunar month as this averages 27.3 (ish) days.
