Nice article!

Any talk of tide prediction should always mention xtide:

https://flaterco.com/xtide/

I've used it with great accuracy in a number of locations around the world.

Another one of those free software packages that's been meticulously maintained by one person for decades...

Here we go (quote from the xtide Web page)

"Q: I live outside of the U.S. and my location is no longer supported. What happened?

A: Many data were purged after a legal threat from the U.K. Hydrographic Office (UKHO) in January 2001. I ended maintenance of the non-U.S. data that replaced them for different reasons in early 2012."

I wonder how much money the Hydrographic Office saved by not allowing this data to be distributed?
