Contact

Write to info@howsthetide.com. That address reaches a person, not a ticket queue. If a tide time on this site looks wrong, say which town and which day — that is the fastest way to get it checked against the NOAA station it came from.

We have no telephone line for this site. Everything worth answering about tide data is easier to answer in writing, with the station number in front of both of us.

What this site is, and what it is not

How’s the Tide publishes tide predictions issued by theNOAA Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services, together with weather forecasts from the National Weather Service and sun, moon and solunar times we compute ourselves. Every page names the station its numbers come from and links to it.

It is not a navigation product. Predictions are not measurements, and weather moves. Before you rely on any of these times on the water, check the official NOAA station page and the current marine forecast. The full terms are in ourterms of use.

Accessibility

We build to WCAG 2.2 level AA. Two things are checked automatically before anything is published: every colour pairing that carries text is measured against the AA contrast ratio, and the build stops if one falls short. Tide states are never signalled by colour alone — „High“ and „Low“ are written out, and so are the verdicts in the boating and beach tables.

That is a claim you can test. If something here does not work with your screen reader, your keyboard or your zoom level, write toinfo@howsthetide.com and name the page. We would rather hear it than not.
