TIDE CORRECTIONS
Many factors affect tides, including the shoreline, time of the Moon's southing (crossing the meridian), and the Moon's phase. The High Tide Times column on the Left-Hand Calendar Pages, 120–146, lists the times of high tide at Commonwealth Pier in Boston (MA) Harbor. The heights of some of these tides, reckoned from Mean Lower Low Water, are given on the Right-Hand Calendar Pages, 121– 147. Use the table below to calculate the approximate times and heights of high tide at the places shown. Apply the time difference to the times of high tide at Boston and the height difference to the heights at Boston. A more detailed and accurate tide calculator for the United States and Canada can be found at Almanac.com/Tides.
EXAMPLE:
The conversion of the times and heights of the tides at Boston to those at Cape Fear, North Carolina, is given below:
