NOTE: It is normal for the tide hand to have some "play". This allows for proper rotation of the hand.

You may have to iterate to set properly.

6. Tide Clock Limitations

6.1 Location

Tide fluctuations (high and low tide) vary from one location to another. The tide hand therefore will

indicate high and low tide at your specific location only. High and low tides have a fluctuation

rhythm between 12 and 13 hours. Therefore, the tide indicator will show average values only, which

for general requirements will be sufficient.

Other variables such as wind, atmospheric pressure, the relative position of the moon, and the

elliptical pattern of the sun will affect the tide slightly. These variables least affect the tide at the time

of the full moon. For this reason, the time of the full moon and to a lesser extent, the new moon are

generally the best times to set your tide clock. Even though you may experience some slight

variations during the days to come, you will find that they will "average out" and by the time of the

next full moon, your tide clock will accurately depict the correct time of flood and ebb stages.
