How to read a tide clock?

A tide clock is designed to display the times of high tide and low tide, based on the local tide cycle. Here's how to read the face of a tide clock:

• Tide hand: The tide clock is equipped with a special hand to indicate the tide level. It functions like the hour hand on a traditional clock, but it points to different positions on the dial representing different tide levels.
• High tide: When the tide hand points upward on the dial, it indicates high tide. This is the time when sea level is at its highest in the tidal cycle.
• Low tide: When the tide hand points down on the dial, it indicates low tide. This is the time when sea level is at its lowest in the tidal cycle.
• Other needle positions: Between the high tide and low tide positions, the tide hand may point to other numbers on the dial thus indicating intermediate tide levels.

In summary, to read a tide clock, simply look at where the tide hand is pointing to determine whether the tide is high, low, or somewhere in between.
