Questions, answered plainly
What is on the print?
Every high and low tide of one year at one NOAA station, drawn as a ribbon of twelve months, a ring, or a day-by-day calendar with the times printed. The station, the year, the coordinates and the datum are on the plate.

Which places can I choose?
61 NOAA tide stations on the US coasts, Alaska, Hawaii, the Pacific islands, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Bermuda. If your shore is not one of them we say so rather than draw a chart from the nearest gauge.

How accurate is it?
It is the same arithmetic NOAA uses to publish its own tables: the station's harmonic constants summed for every minute of the year. Our highs and lows are checked against NOAA's published predictions in the engine's tests. Weather is not in it; a storm can raise or lower the water by a foot or more on the day.

Can I choose a past year?
Yes, any year from 1800 to 2060. The moon and sun are computed exactly for the year you name; the constants and the datum are NOAA's present ones. So a past year is the tide the sky drew at your shore, not a record of what a gauge saw, and before 1983 the sea itself stood a little lower against the land.

What can the chart sit on?
Paper white, parchment, black, ink, or deep water; the flag of the station's state, territory or country; or a photograph of that coast, its surf, or its sunset. You set how much of the picture shows through.
