'Tide' tab

The 'Tide' tab shows a graphical chart that 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.
The top of the page displays the tide station being referenced, below that the date. 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. Daytime (light bar) and nighttime (dark bar) 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 represent 4-hour increments, and the light, dotted vertical
lines are 1-hour increments. A vertical line (with a block at the top or bottom displaying time) indicates
the time of day.
The tide curve shows as a shaded area, with higher tides being taller and lower tides shorter. The
horizontal line (with a block at the left displaying depth) indicates the current tide height. The Mean
Lower Low Water (MLLW) appears as a solid, horizontal line near the bottom of the chart (this line only
appears if the tide ranges to the zero value or below). The bottom of the page indicates the times with the
largest and smallest tides.
