NOAA tide tables have been in production for more than 100 years and are used by both commercial and recreational mariners for safe navigation. Printed tide tables provide the user with tide and tidal current predictions in an easy-to-read format for a particular location.

Tide tables are produced annually and come out in October.

The area can be a narrow strip, as in Pacific islands that have only a narrow tidal range, or can…
