Frequently asked questions

How accurate are the tide times?

They are computed from Open-Meteo's hourly sea-level forecast, which is good to within roughly half an hour for most open coasts. For official harbour tables use the Live sheet widget with your own data.

Does it work on lakes?

Wave and water temperature data covers seas and large lakes; tides are only meaningful on the coast, so switch them off for a lake.
