What is the difference between “Tide Charts” and “Tide Tables”?
“Tide Charts” and “Tide Tables” are actually two different products. “Tide Charts” refer to a series of maps that show the water levels throughout a bay or estuary at a particular point in time. These maps normally show the water levels on an hourly basis after high tide. “Tide Charts” are only available for a few locations around the USA. “Tide Tables” refer to tidal predictions tables that show the daily high and low tide predictions for a particular location. “Tide Tables” can be generated for more than 3,000 locations around the USA. For more information on obtaining “Tide Table” predictions, please read this Frequently Asked Question.
