Tide Tables

Tide tables are charts that predict the high and low water levels of the ocean at specific locations over a period, usually a month. They are based on the moon's and sun's positions, as these celestial bodies influence tidal patterns. By consulting tide tables, boaters, fishermen, and coastal travelers can plan activities around optimal water levels, ensuring safety and efficiency. They indicate when tides will rise or fall, helping to avoid hazards like shallow waters or strong currents. Tide tables are essential tools for understanding and anticipating the natural rhythm of the ocean's surface.
