Thanks for the information but I don't think it is what I'm looking for.
I can find tide charts. What I am looking for is a value called the
Lunitidal Interval which is "the interval between the moon's transit of a
particular meridian and the next high tide at that meridian."

I need this value to program a watch so it is correct for the tides at a
location. I already have the longitude and GMT (time correction).

If there is a way to calculate this value from tide charts, that would be
useful information that I could use.

Thanks again.

Ted

I need the Lunitidal Interval (HIGH tide) for Margate, NJ. This is
right
next to Atlantic City if Margate is not listed.

Could somebody tell me this bit of information or tell me how to find
it?
I'm trying to program a watch for my father (it's a gift) and I don't
know
this one bit of information.

The manual says to use the time differential between the moon's transit
over
the meridian until HIGH tide, not low tide.

The manual lists 11:20 for Boston and 7:30 for Miami, so I assume the
correct value for Margate, NJ is somewhere between.

I would really appreciate the help or a better newsgroup to ask in.

Thanks

Ted- if you go to google.com and type in "tide chart margate nj" you
should come up with a number of tide-predictors.

I have done the same for my area, and it worked well.

If you don't get a hit for Margate, use Atlantic City. Let me know if
you strike out.

Also try Ventnor, Longport, Pleasantville, Northfield, Linwood, Ocean
City,
or Somers Point. They're all right there in the same area.
