Northerly winds hold back the ebb in the North Sea.
Storm surges affect both time and travel. Weather patterns on the west coast or around Iceland can affect the pasage of water out of the North Sea and hence our Broads tides. Drainage from the marshes upriver is particularly noticeable where the rivers are bottlenecked as the Bure at Yarmouth or the Waveney at Beccles. The Upper Broads drain huge areas of land.
