It's me again-
Just curious whether anyone actually uses tide data for anything? I
usually rely upon current data (slack, peak ebb and peak flood times)
rather than high/low tides. Except for places like Palo Alto, which
becomes inaccessible, or Third Ave, which sometimes becomes a bit muddy,
I don't usually use the tide data for anything. Does anyone else? In
case you haven't figured it out, this is for the Web page project, b/c I
have to obtain the data tide data from a different source than the current
data.
On a related note, does anyone know why high/low tide times differ
(sometimes substantially) from slack times? I noticed this in my tide
book and it didn't make much sense to me. Could it be that there's a lag
between when slack occurs and the tide actually hits its highest (or lowest)
point (e.g. during a full moon)?
Thanks. Have a merry one.
