Tide clocks are easier to understand than tide tables. They run on moon time and instead of revolving every 24 hours,they revolve every 24 hours and 50 1/2 minutes.Along the Atlantic, where the tidal cycles are regular with two high and two low tides during each day, the clocks rarely need adjusting.They can be used on all Atlantic coasts in Europe and the East coast of the US and Canada.
The clocks ship with full, simple to follow instructions and Looney Creations swing tag with the words “Who knows what the tide may bring!”,
