About Lighthouse Tide Clocks

A lighthouse is the perfect imagery to pair with a tide clock because of its connection to the water and the ebb and flow of the tides. Lighthouse tide clocks operate in the same way that all tide clocks do. Tides are driven by the moon’s orbit. This means that you can keep track of the tides in any location as long as you calibrate your tide clock accordingly.  

Benefits of Our Lighthouse Tide Clocks

The local tides can be tracked by anybody with access to a tide clock. This is much easier and more convenient than using a tide chart or table specific to your area. Back in the day, a tide chart or table was the conventional tool for knowing when high or low tide would occur, as well as the strength and timing of tides, and when the tides were expected. These tables also provide additional information regarding noteworthy monthly or annual patterns and specific areas of interest if you are looking at more comprehensive details.

Tide charts are particularly useful for anglers and boaters, but reading them can be tricky for novices. Instead, a lighthouse tide clock makes it easy to get the information you want and need about the tides. It takes tide clocks 12 hours, 25 minutes to complete one rotation. This is significant since the given duration is an average derived from years' worth of tidal data. Tides may occasionally be off from what is predicted by tide clocks due to natural interval changes, but the most they will vary is about 26 minutes. In general, they are quite reliable tools for estimating the movement of the tide. While the Moon's effect on tides is predictable, the variability of other elements that affect tides to a lesser extent should also be considered.
