To set a custom beach
The watch's harmonic algorithm is designed so that if
your personal surf-spot is not represented, it is probably
close to one that is. You can customize a preloaded beach
to show tide information for an unlisted beach if the two
are near each other. You must know the time difference
between the high tide at your favorite beach and the
high tide (for the same day) of the nearest beach in
the watch's memory. Consult local tide tables for tide
data on beaches not listed.
1 In BEACH mode press ADJUST and follow the steps
above for selecting a beach.
Select the beach that is geographically closest to
your surf spot.
The display reads T-DIFF (time difference). Below is a
number representing the time difference between the
actual high tide of your beach and the high tide of the
one programmed into memory.
