Contacts for Tide and Tidal Current Prediction Tables in book form:

Tide and Tidal Current Prediction Tables are still published annually by CO-OPS on CD-ROM. This CD-ROM is meant for the use of professional printers creating book-form products. It is not a "user friendly" format, and so not suitable for general use.

However, information for use by professionals (mariners, educators, planners, engineers) and the general public may be obtained from several sources. The sources listed here annually obtain predictions from CO-OPS. Please read our disclaimers.
