Need Lunitidal Interval for Margate, NJ
 

I need the Lunitidal Interval (HIGH tide) for Margate, NJ. This is right
next to Atlantic City if Margate is not listed.

Could somebody tell me this bit of information or tell me how to find it?
I'm trying to program a watch for my father (it's a gift) and I don't know
this one bit of information.

The manual says to use the time differential between the moon's transit over
the meridian until HIGH tide, not low tide.

The manual lists 11:20 for Boston and 7:30 for Miami, so I assume the
correct value for Margate, NJ is somewhere between.

I would really appreciate the help or a better newsgroup to ask in.

Thanks

Ted

Ted- if you go to google.com and type in "tide chart margate nj" you
should come up with a number of tide-predictors.

I have done the same for my area, and it worked well.

If you don't get a hit for Margate, use Atlantic City. Let me know if
you strike out.

Also try Ventnor, Longport, Pleasantville, Northfield, Linwood, Ocean City,
or Somers Point. They're all right there in the same area.

Thanks for the information but I don't think it is what I'm looking for.
I can find tide charts. What I am looking for is a value called the
Lunitidal Interval which is "the interval between the moon's transit of a
particular meridian and the next high tide at that meridian."

I need this value to program a watch so it is correct for the tides at a
location. I already have the longitude and GMT (time correction).

If there is a way to calculate this value from tide charts, that would be
useful information that I could use.

Thanks again.

Ted

High water lunitidal interval
The high water lunitidal interval (or high water interval) is the time
interval between the moon's transit and the next high water. The interval
may be taken from the local time of moon's transit to the local time of high
water, or it may be taken from the Greenwich time of the moon's transit to
the standard time of high water.

Mean high water interval
The mean high water interval is the mean value of all the high water
intervals throughout at least a lunation of 29 days.

Use the table below to set the moon/tide mode of your watch
Mean lunitidal intervals (mean high water intervals) have been calculated
using

Interval (hrs) = M2 phase (degrees) x M2 period (hrs) / 360 (degrees)

Hope this helps.

Three to four foot tides up in Albany along the Hudson. I lived in
Colonie for a while, a 'burb of Albany, and sailed a mighty Dyer dink in
the river. This had to be 35 years ago, but I suppose the river still
has tides.
