ABOUT TIDAL FUNCTIONS

Tide functions are divided into two parts, BEACH mode, and TIDE mode.
Use BEACH mode to select 3 favorite beaches from 180 that are programmed
into the Nike Typhoon watch. You have quick, easy access to detailed tide
information for any one of these three beaches.
Use TIDE mode to get detailed tidal information for one of the three beaches
you selected in BEACH mode.
Reading the graphic tide display
The visual tide display is similar to the display found in many
published tide charts. The darkened portion of the display represents
the water level. The tide progresses from left to right.
If the tide is going out the display will show a gradually decreasing
water level. When the display shows the water level at its lowest
point there is a low tide.
From left to right, a gradually increasing water level means the tide
is coming in. When the display shows the water level at its highest
point there is a high tide.

TIDE

When TIDE mode is selected the display
automatically shows the first high or low
tide for the present day. There are several
other ways to access tide information for
the active beach.
You can determine:
1 The state of tides for a particular time.
2 The state of tides for the next day or
any subsequent day.
3 The high tides and low tides for a
particular day.
4 The next spring tide.
To determine the present state of the tides
In any mode other than TIDE mode the graphic display
at the base of the screen shows the current state of the
tides for the active beach.
