When is the next high or low tide at your local beach? Stay in sync with the rhythm of the sea with my meticulously crafted tide clocks. Loved by sailors, beachcombers, and ocean lovers worldwide, this tide clock is more than just a timepiece – it's a connection to the ebb and flow of nature!
My tide clocks are not your average timepiece - they are specially designed to help you keep track of the changing tides. How do they work? The single tide indicator hand does not go around the clock in 12 hours like a typical clock, but in 12 hours 25 minutes which corresponds to the average time between two high tides and two low tides between both full moons. For best results set your tide clock during high tide on the day of a full moon and, if done properly, it will display the minimum error and usually, the discrepancy will be less than 30 minutes and only four to five days each month will have a difference as great as 1 hour. Occasional adjustments may be required which are best carried out on the day of a full moon.
What really sets my personalised tide clocks apart is the fact that they are all laser cut and hand finished, you can also add up to 24 characters of personalised text such as the name of the city or a persons name and date etc and they are available in ten different colours. If you don't specify personalised text, the city or town name will be used. Each clock is crafted with care and attention to detail, ensuring that you get a one-of-a-kind piece that you can treasure for years to come. It is possible to add any location to your tide clock so if you cannot see what you want simply drop me a message and I will create you a clock that shows exactly what you want.
So whether you're a seasoned sailor, a beachcomber, diver, swimmer, someone who loves the ocean or just a salty sea dog, my tide clocks are the perfect addition to your home or boat.
All of my clocks can also be made with a quality standard 12 hour time movement, just ask!
Note* The sea on these tide clocks is always blue. Please choose your colours to match.
How do you set a tide clock?
A tide clock can be a mysterious beast with settings only made under the auspices of a full moon and set up differently in different parts of the country. It sounds very complicated and, frankly, who can bothered? But actually it's really simple! All you need do is look up the tide table online for the area you want to set the clock to. There are plenty of tide table websites if you search for them. Choose the location in or closest to the area you want and set the hand accordingly - that's it! Your tide clock will now show how long until high or low water and the top and bottom of tides. If you want it to be super accurate, when there is a full moon, simply adjust your tide clock on that day and that will make it as accurate as it can be :)
