Southport, Merseyside, UK. 25th March, 2015. UK Weather: Bright Sunny Day and Very rare high tide comes in on Southport beach leaving Linguoid ripples.


Linguoid ripples have lee slope surfaces that are curved generating a laminae similar to caternary and sinuous ripples. Linguoid ripples generate an angle to the flow as well as downstream. Linguoid ripples have a random shape rather than a "W" shape, as described in the catenary description. Lunate ripples, meaning crescent shaped ripples, are exactly like linguoid ripples except that the stoss sides are curved rather than the lee slope. All other features are the same.
