Very Low Tide

I don't know what low tide
looks like normally
(at Coogee Beach, Sydney, Australia),
but today at  1.30pm  AEST
(Australian Eastern Standard Time)
it looked a lot lower than usual.

A friend has also told me
that it's new moon,
at the moment.

So, maybe this is why.

The wind was also very strong,
and cool,
going out to sea,
                                                                                       such that the waves coming into the beach
                                                                                       were like a ripple.

                                                                                       The sea was so calm,
                                                                                       and the bottom of the sea
                                                                                       could be seen easily.
                                                                                       Making me feel that on days like this,
                                                                                       that I was in the Mediterranean !
