Lunar Tide Cycle
The lunar tide cycle function may be set to display the position of the moon in relation to its
revolution around the earth. The moon's position is the primary, although not the only, factor in
predicting high and low coastal tides. High tides are generally present when the moon is overhead
or when the moon is 180 degrees from overhead. Low tide is generally present when the moon is in
the 90 degree or the 270 degree position. This method of predicting tide works well on the West and
East coasts. On the Gulf coast, this method is not as successful.
To set the tide clock, follow the directions in the time set function. The first item to be entered is the
tide cycle duration. The tide cycle duration may be set from 1 to 99 hours. Twelve hours and fifty
one minutes is the normal number for a tide clock. The second item to be entered is the time of the
high tide. This information is generally found in the newspaper. If predicting the tide does not apply
