I'm thinking of doing some east side dives my next trip. One in particular requires returning on an incoming tide. While looking at the tide tables for Lac Bay and Kralendijk I found some real anomolies.
The Lac Bay tides can be as much as 1+ hour before Kralendijk and 2+ hours after Kralendijk on the same day on sequential tides (low to high or high to low). Each time differential also drifts in the amount of difference to a peak then falls and each tide (1st of day through 4th of day) drifts independant of the others.
Also the time between tides (high to low or low to high) can be as little as 3 hours 18 minutes or as much as 8 hours 53 minutes. That's a huge variation and it doesn't seem to show any pattern. Normally tides are 6+ hours apart - but not here I guess.
Any one have any idea what the heck is going on? My brain is all aching and wracked with pain. I think it's going to explode.
