"If you live near or close to the sea in New Zealand you depend on this connection for many reasons. Whether you are a fisherman, paddle boarder, swimmer or love to kayak, you could have many reasons for getting out there in the sea. Ultimately the convenience and effectiveness of many sea-based activities is down to the timing of the tides. So, having a handy tide table is essential to getting your activities planned well so you get the most from your time on the water."
