Well actually they are. Mankind does not yet posses the full knowledge
to produce exact tide predictions.

Have a look at:

Tidal Science - 1996, proceedings of a symposium held in London, 21-22
October 1996. Progress in Oceanography, Elsevier Press. 'Special
issue', vol. 40, Issue 1-4, 1998

This should give an overview of the outlook for tidal science just
before the start of the new millennium.

You should complain to the hydrographic offic. Tide tables are
hardly
rocket science!

One of the most frustrating things around here is that the tide

Snow's Cut (for example) is very strong, and so far I have yet to

run on schedule. It's annoying after planning a departure at an
inconvenient time so as to arrive at slack, only to find the
current
running like a champ with no sign of slacking.
