OK, dxb, here you go. Online, I found a reference to a book:

Author = Officer, Charles B.
Title = Physical Oceanography of Estuaries (and Associated Coastal Waters)
Publisher = John Wiley & Sons
Year = 1976
Pages = 465
ISBN = 0-471-65278-4

Apparently, it has a chapter which has a section dealing with tides at Solent, etc. So there you go! In a free moment maybe you or I will pick it up from a university library and have a gander at it!
