Tide Predictions
Does anyone know how to get tide predictions at isolated spots in Baja?
I am only able to find tides at a few harbors along the entire coast. Any help is appreciated!

This is all I have

Hope it helps. You should be able to guesstimate what it will be in your area.

much obliged!
shouldn't it be possible to have a resource by which you could enter a lat/long and the tide could be automatically predicted from those criteria? or
maybe its a lot more complicated than that...

Thanks again, Judy, Dan.
What about GPS tides- are there systems that provide accurate tides for given coordinates?

try http://bajaquest.com/bajasports/tides.htm
Estimate tides in a particular area by noting the distance between stations to the north and south and estimating the times in your area by the
distances from those stations. Or visually observe a high or low tide and note the time difference from the nearest predicted port, then use that time
difference in the future. Not exact but maybe good enough.
I have not seen sites that predict based on gps coordinates. Many sites I've seen use the Unix software predictor X-Tide; I don't run Unix and haven't
seen that program's parameters.

Even better is to download the software that generates the data for that page:
http://oceanografia.cicese.mx/predmar/survey.html .
You need to know (a little) Spanish, but this is the real deal. Check it out.

I think I got it. With triangulation/guestimating, along with seeing a few cycles myself, I should get it down.
Thanks so much all.
