"So what are the prevailing winds in Nova Scotia? (Mid-May - Mid Sept, south coast)."
Predominately south-west all summer. They start turning more northerly in September / October. "I won’t even ask about tides (and I’m coming from Long Island)." Most of coastal Nova Scotia and Cape Breton, about 4' to 5' of tide. Bras d'Or Lakes, essentially no tide (1" perhaps, more related to atmospheric pressure than the moon). The Fundy side of Nova Scotia, now that is a whole different ball of wax. Up to 50' of tide at the head of the Bay of Fundy. "Yes, I know I can get all this from a cruising guide and already to some extent have but I thought I might ask folks who actually live there." That's what we're here for. Ken H.
