WHY NOT USE THE I.S.O. LAYOUT?
The International Standard layout for tide tables shows each turning point in chronological order for each day. The first entry for the day might be for high or low water depending on the stage of the cycle and there are usually four lines per day but with crossovers this might be three. When the system was first adopted Lavers tables were changed accordingly but the outcry from our regular readers was such that we reverted to the high water on the left and low water on the right scheme we still use today. This also means that we can more easily continue to show the metric heights converted to feet.
