Tide Forecast on Windy
-
All tides come in imperial measurement system even though I have set metric in my preferences.
My bad, it shows both
-
All my settings are in feet yet tides display in meters. Need tides to display in feet as well. Thx
-
@B-B-12
Tides are clearly displayed in feet and in meters as shown by a screenshot 7 posts here above. -
Great idea! love it. Saves jumping to another app too.
-
Lots of good ideas mentioned to make valuable tool really great. Amust though is to show the moon phase. This is fritical in determining spring and neap tides - also has huge effect on local currents.
-
The feet to meters conversion doesn’t seem very accurate. For example, a tide shown as “14 feet” is also shown as “4.43m”. 4.43m is 14.53 feet, so which is it?
Half a foot can make a difference in a high tide, it could be the difference in flooding or not.

@ivo Tides layer is a nice addon but it's presentation feels outdated with the brown and blue lines compared to the rest of the app or website. To match the rest of the website which is very visual I was thinking about a tide chart with a sinusoidal curve with high and low points and a vertical line showing current time on the chart.

Tides are one of my important features, since I spend a significant time there. I would like to see the exact measurements I.e. decimals included. Thanks!
-
Fantastic and very useful addition to W. My daily go to for passage planning. Simple and complete. Thank you.

@SVFLIGHT @William-Cane @roadrunner40 @BlueMovement @Clark-Pine thank you for your interest in Tides. We considered it just a supplementary feature over the time. I am happy to read that you are using it. It seems that we should give it some facelift :)
-
@ivo Would you consider presenting tidal flows as a sine wave for all sites. The resultant visual presentation would make tidal estimates very quick as most mariners and boaties know the rule of twelfths

I just for fun compared the tide prediction by windy with those available at the german BSH.
It's not too bad, the times for high and low water are pretty close useful as guide on how to plan a passage. I was mainly puzzled by the hights shown in windy. There are negative values. So the values given are definitely not suitable for use in navigational calculations, which is totally ok because the feature is experimental.
What hight reference datum does windy use?
In marine navigation the usual reference datum for water levels/depth is LAT=lowest astronomical tide which is used as zero depth in nautical charts and which ensures that hights of tides are always positive (by definition) and depths in a nav chart are minimal depth. (Actual water level may get negative due to wind or other influences but not due to calculated tides.)

@Tomber42
Also needs to state day and date ie , wed 05 or Thurs 06 -
@Jungbl you forgot to mention that air pressure affects tides.
-
The Tide forecast isn't correct for Clearwater beach Florida the time zone should be set for - 5 GMT it is 5 hours difference from Eastern time to GMT London. Not - 4 GMT so thefore it's off envyone knows it's 5 hours difference from Eastern time to Greenwich mean time so why do you have the tide forecast saying it's -4 GMT hours when it isn't
-
@steve-weatherman-smith
Your are probably right concerning the difference between local time and UTC time
But is the local time of the tide correct?
-
Is there a way to change tidal values to metres from feet ?
-
@jessamundi
Both units are shown in the table. -
Hello is it possible to have the tide times in the rest of Europe, like france, Italy, Spain, etc…
Thank you -
@Patrick-Parma coming soon
