The Celestial Menu lets you view information for
Tides, Sun and Moon, or Hunt and Fish.
Tides
The Tides page displays
a graphical chart which
displays tide station
information in a 24-hour
span starting at midnight
station time. You can
choose from different
dates and over 3,000 tide
stations around the U.S.
coastline, Alaska, Hawaii,
western Canada, and
several of the Caribbean Islands.
Along the top of the page are the Date and Tide Station
that are being referenced. The top of the chart shows
a 24-hour block of local time (LCL) for your position,
with the reported station time (STA) appearing at the
bottom.
Daylight (light bar) and night (dark bar) show across
the time scale, with the time progressing from
left to right. (Local time scales and sunrise/sunset
information may not be available for a few stations).
The solid, light vertical lines are in 4-hour increments,
with the light, dotted
vertical lined in 1-hour
increments. A dark
vertical line (with arrows
at the ends of the line)
indicates the time of
day when using current
date and intersects the
tide graph to show their
relation.
The tide curve shows as
a shaded area, with higher tides being taller and lower
tides shorter. The dark horizontal line (with arrows at
the ends of the line) indicates the current tide height.
The figure to the left of the line shows the current tide
level in feet. The Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW)
appears as a solid vertical line near the bottom of the
chart. This line only appears if the tide ranges to the
