Wind over Tide
When wind and tidal flow are in opposite direction, water conditions are choppy.
Called "Wind over Water"
Wind with Tide

How much anchor rope should you let out ?

Add depth of water underneath vessel to the Tidal range that day, and multiply the total by 2.

(Water depth of 2m + Tidal range of 6m) x 2 = required anchor rope = 8 x 2 = 16 metres
