The solid, light vertical lines are in 4-hour increments, and the light, dotted vertical lines are in 1-hour
increments. A solid, vertical line (with the current time box at the top) indicates the time of day when
using current date and intersects the tide graph to show their relation.
The tide curve shows as a shaded area, with higher tides being taller (blue) and lower tides shorter
(red). The solid, horizontal line (with the current tide box on the left) indicates the current tide height.
The fi gure to the left of the line shows the current tide level. The Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) appears
as a solid, horizontal line near the bottom of the chart (This line only appears if the tide ranges to the zero
value or below). The numbers on the top and bottom of the left side indicate the maximum/minimum
levels. The four data fi elds below the chart, indicate event times and levels at which the tide changes start-
ing in the upper left fi eld, going downward, then to the upper right and down again. When comparing
with other tide tables, be sure the depth unit value is the same for both sources.
