Tide web sites
Tides - from Ocean Link - a nice description of the equilibrium tide
NOAA - the Restless Tide - a nice site dealing with many aspects of tides. A bit more advanced than the Ocean Link site.
Highest tides in the World - a site for the layperson on the Bay of Fundy and its tides. Of passing interest.
WWW Tide and Current Predictor - Has the ability to do graphic plots of tides for many coastlines of the world, for short or long periods of time. Very useful.
Tides online - NOAA - for tidal prediction; perhaps a more useful interface than the one below
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) - tidal prediction site
Scripps Institue of Oceanography - tide prediction - has a useful link to tides and tide prediction
