   I spent Friday watching the ESA TV feed, which included an interview   
   with someone who'd been working on what to do if Huygens ended up in the   
   "water". He commented that they'd modelled the hypothetical oceans, by   
   taking something intended to model oceanic behaviour and changing   
   virtually every parameter in it, and that the eventual result was that   
   they expected to get waves which were much larger, but also much slower,   
   than on Earth; I think a figure quoted was about five? times the height,   
   but spaced significantly further apart.   
      
   Not quite tides, but...
