Well I'm done thinking about it. If you read the 2'nd URL I posted above it shows a wide variance btw actual tides and simple calculations. Specifically 2.6' for a max tide (if the earth were a perfectly round ball covered in water) and yet we know actual tides are much higher (in places) due to water depth, shape of the coast and funneling. I was going to model Winni as a trench of constant depth and width, some 25 miles long and figure out a simple theoretical tide, but given the above, this model would be too simple to give any sort of answer at all. Oh well it was an interesting question anyway ...
