From the Preface: This book is written for the many intelligent people who work or play
along the coast between Sandy Hook and the Bay of Fundy in the hope that
it will give them a better understanding of matters which greatly influence
the daily ordering of their activities. It may be of value to the serious student
of the tides, at the beginning as an introduction to tidal theory and later as a
summary of the tides on this particular coast. The stretch of coast considered
and the off-lying ocean contain examples of practically all known tidal
phenomena.
The book is based for the most part on information given in the tide
and current tables published by the U.S. Department of Commerce, National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, formerly the Coast and
Geodetic Survey. It is not intended to replace these tables if one would know
what to expect at any particular place on any particular day. Rather, it attempts
to explain why the tide locally is as it is and why it varies from place
to place.
