Default lunitidal interval

Steen ,

Lunitidal Interval is the delay caused by water flow and restrictions that
occur to tidal waters.... ok so you already knew that I bet!

the trick is, I do not read it so much as measure it!

firstly the theoretical 'high water' occurs when the moon is at its zenith
(the time it reaches its highest point during any day.) find this out from
reference almanacs....for a given day and location. lets say it was 08:00

next, by observation at that point or by looking at tables find out what
time high tide does or is due to occur. let us say 10:30

the lunitidal interval is :- the observed time (10:30) minus the theoretical
time (08:00) = +2.5 hours

Bingo! lunitidal interval is 2.5 hours in our example....

I hope this is helpful... I have to program my tidal watch whenever I am
paddling away, and the above is how I do it. works for me !

Regards

Steve Frost
