So waves and tides... None existent for at least a 10,000 year period? Let me ask is it just localized in just this area or does the moons gravity not create waves and tides for the whole planet?
I know you're enjoying yourself, but do you realize there's a huge range of options between "no tides at all ever," and "tides large enough to heft a whale carcass off of the beach and back into the water"?

Because, as I just pointed out, and you seemed to ignore, when whales beach themselves, usually they're still within contact with the ocean... just never sufficient quantities of it to provide them buoyancy. Despite being buoyant, whales are still heavy creatures that need a lot more water than the tides can provide. If tidal motion was sufficient to carry a whale we wouldn't get beached whales at all.
