It's high tide. The cycle from High to Low is 6 hours.

What is a quick way to estimate the drop tide height
in the next hour?

For height you use the rule of 12.

Don't EVER call this girl a lubber, you farmer! :-)

Rule of thirds works for tide height. In the first two hours it goes down 1/3 of its height.
In the next two hours it goes down 1/3 more and in the last two hours it goes down the last
1/3. (I think.)

Maybe your right, Mr. Farmer (sign of respect (- Explain how the rule of 12 works.
That's probably what I was thinking. The rule of 1/3 maybe is more for photography.

Oops! That doesn't sound right. Maybe it goes down 1/4 the first two hours and 1/2 the next
two hours and 1/4 the last two hours. Yes, that's it. Makes more sense that way. It goes down
faster in the middle hours.

Bwahahahaha lubber!

Wrong.

Rule of 12's applies.

Ifyou want to break it down into 2 hours portions it works out like
this:
First two hours it goes down 1/4, middle two hours is 1/2, last twohours is
1/4.

I corrected myself when I answered 'farmer' Joe. :-0~ I wrote it down just
like you said after realizing how dumb the 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 thing looked. Duh!

Ask some more questions. I'll get the next one right. For sure. That one threw
me off for some reason.
