Wrong Tide Forecast for Germany
-
I just compared the tide forecast of Windy with the forecast with the official german forecast from https://gezeiten.bsh.de/. The latter is also compared to actual measured data and very accurate.
The forecast by windy is pretty much off, the times as well as the heights. Relying on this data can be dangerous. So, IMHO it is better to show no tide data at all than to show wrong data, wrong data is useless and even dangerous. Even if you say the Windy tides are just to get an overview or general picture, what kind overview to you want to get with wrong data?
The data on https://gezeiten.bsh.de may be used by other projects (read the details) you should import them into Windy.

@quantenschaum
Could you show a screenshot of the tide panel where you made the comparison.
Did you notice that the tide times are in UTC?
