How does a tide clock work?

Tides are caused mainly by the moons gravitational pull on the ocean. The time it takes the moon to reappear at the same place in the sky each day is 24 hours and 50 minutes. Most areas in the world have two high tides and two low tides a day, so the tide clock has been specially designed to rotate twice each lunar day (every 12 hours and 25 minutes) giving you a quick and easy indication of high and low water. The quartz tide clock will always stay synchronized with the moon.

There are other influences on sea levels that effect exact tide times and the user should take these into account:
 



Setting your Tide Clock

Look up your local high tide time here on the “Tidal Links” page.

At exactly high tide set the clock to its high tide position (hand pointing straight up) by turning the wheel on the back of the movement, DO NOT physically force the hand round as this will damage the movement.

Insert an AA sized battery (will last around two years).

For best accuracy across a calander month, set or re-set the tide clock on the day of, or morning after a full moon.
