Classic Tide Timer Clock

This item is easier to read than printed tide tables. It is both attractive and useful, reintroducing the classic design from 1971. The Tide Timer can be free-standing or wall-mounted, and measures 6x6x1/2 inches in acrylic.

On the Atlantic coast, these Tide Timers never require adjustment. However, when used on the West Coast, the clocks must be reset every Saturday according to the provided proprietary setting tables. It is important to note that Tide Clocks do not function in the Gulf of Mexico.

Tide Timers make the perfect gift for anyone with a coastal home or boat, as well as for fishermen, swimmers, surfers, and beachcombers. They offer a simple, reliable way to keep track of the tides. This is particularly helpful as the tides operate on "moon time," where each tidal day has 24 hours and 50 1/2 minutes, meaning high and low tides do not occur at the same hour each day.

The Tide Timer's red ball hand conveniently displays, at a glance, the number of hours until the next high or low tide in the user's area. These Tide Timers are much easier to read than printed tide tables and come in a variety of styles to complement any decor.

Tide Timers are recommended for use on both the East and West Coasts of the United States and Canada. On the Atlantic, they never need adjustment. On the Pacific, including Hawaii, they will work, but they must be reset each week using the proprietary setting tables.

It is worth noting that Tide Clocks do work in the Gulf of Mexico. Schelling Corp has been manufacturing and guaranteeing their Tide Timers since 1971.

In summary, this Tide Timer offers an attractive, easy-to-read, and reliable way to track tidal patterns, making it a valuable tool for coastal dwellers, water enthusiasts, and anyone with a fascination for the ebb and flow of the tides.
