Tides — 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 3000 tide stations around the USA 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 refer-
enced. The top of the chart will show 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) will show across the time scale, with
the time progressing from left to right. (Local time scales and sunrise/sunset
info 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 incre-
ments. A dark vertical line (with arrows at the ends of the line) will indicate
the time of day when using current date and will intersect the tide graph to
show their relation.
The tide curve will show 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) will indicate the current tide height. The figure to the left of the line will
show the current tide level in feet. The Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) will
appear as a solid vertical line near the bottom of the chart (This line will only
appear if the tide ranges to the zero value or below). The top and bottom
numbers to the left of the chart, ‘LCL and ‘STA’ indicate the maximum/
minimum levels, respectively. The four data fields below the chart, indicate
event times and levels at which the tide changes starting in the upper left
field, going downward, then to the upper right and down again.
Hunt and Fish — The Hunt and Fish Page displays data for Good and Best
