For ATLANTIC COAST users set the clock and let it predict the next regular tide. The Atlantic tide changes every 12 hours 25 minutes and 14 seconds, so that is how long it takes the hand to go around on these tide clocks. Pacific Coast, these tide clocks do not work without adjusting weekly, so we only sell these tide clocks for Atlantic Coast use only.
A sailor or fisherman leaving the house for a day on the water will check his tidal clock to see how deep the water is and wich way the currect is flowing. Even the beachcombers want to know if the tide is in or out.
Introduction
The revolving Moon induces two High Tides and two Low Tides per day over most of the Earth's coastline. The Semidiurnal (twice-daily) tidal action presetns various concerns for the ocean sportsman.
Wise fishermen learn the feeding habits of their prey, and know many fish feed only at certain tidal conditions.
Sailors and propeller boat operators pay strict attention to tidal depths to avoid the danger of running aground.
Sea Kayakers and Surfers must factor in currents strengths and direction, which follow tidal cycles.
Even Beach-goers gauge sandy beach size and undertow conditions by the tide.
