tide tables

Predicted water levels

Tide tables are charts showing predicted times and heights of high and low tides for specific locations.

Sailors, fishermen, and coastal planners consult them to anticipate water levels: Check the tide tables before we launch the boat.

Published annually for ports and harbors, they're based on astronomical calculations of lunar and solar gravitational effects.
