      Yeah but 80% of peak low tide seems weird. The less low tide you get means the higher the tide?

      Nevermind I looked closer and it’s clearly labeled ‘hours’ so it’s more of a countdown than a percentage, which makes total sense.

        Ah, yeah, you’re right, I didn’t notice the hours label either. So yeah, percents don’t make sense. Good call.

          It’s also 8-6-4-2-0-8-6-4-2-0… as opposed to 8-6-4-2-0-2-4-6-8-10. But is low/high tide not every 6.2 hours or something?
