lunitidal interval for toronto
 
Can someone tell me the lunitidal interval for Toronto so I can set my Casio watch?

Ok...at the risk of sounding dumb...why would you care about tides in
Toronto?
Here in Halifax, my union brothers gave me a tidal clock as a retirement
gift.
Very useful in the Maritimes. Each day the local paper prints tide tables
for the next day. The instructions said to set it up on a full moon and it
should stay accurate.

Wouldn't there be some tidal forces in play on Lake Ontario?

==============================================

Yes but they are very small compared to the effects of wind and
barometric pressure. I spent a lot of time on Lake O as a kid and
have seen the water level rise over a foot in less than 30 minutes, as
a frontal system comes in from the west.

Yeah, when we moved up here and the Bay became a fishing venue for me, I
was really surprised at how small the tides were, compared to NE Florida.

Hey, it's for my watch...and Toronto isn't listed in the manual.

Maybe there's a reason for that. Here's the phone number of the Rochester NY
Coast Guard. Maybe someone there can help you:

Thanks...I didn't know this was such a big deal...

It probably isn't a big deal, which is why nobody knows much about it. I've
lived in Rochester for 23 years. Anytime I've heard people complaining about
the water level of Lake Ontario, the response always comes from the Army
Corps of Engineers, which somehow controls it.
