To determine the spring tides
Note: There are usually two days when "spring tides" occur each month.
Spring tides have the greatest range, with higher highs and lower lows
than other tides during the month. For water lovers, that can mean good
waves as high tide comes in. For beachcombers it means access to
sections of beach normally under water.
In TIDE mode, press BEACH NAME/RESET.
The day on which the next spring tides occur is calculated
and the first high or low tide of the day displayed. "Spring"
will appear to indicate that this is the day of spring tides.
Follow the directions above for determining high and low
tides for the day of the spring tides.
Next spring tides can be calculated from future dates by
following directions for determining tides for subsequent
days above.
To return to the current day, press and hold the BEACH
NAME/RESET button.
