This might be one you could help with, Graham?

Do you, or anyone else, know of an on-line source where I could find
data on the above for 2006?

My Googling wasn't exactly successful...

Unfortunately the Hydrographer claims copyright on tidal information for
the UK and won't allow more than 7 days worth to be published on the
Internet at a time. 'He' even forced some programmers to remove UK tidal
constant data from their programs as the copyright belonged to him.

It is possible to purchase booklets of tidal predictions for the whole year
locally.

The Hydrographer's tidal prediction page for Falmouth is at
http://easytide.ukho.gov.uk/easytide...on.aspx?PortID
=0005&PredictionLength=7

There's an annual table for Falmouth at
http://www.mobilegeographics.com:81/calendar/year/1869.html
and an index of other places at
http://www.mobilegeographics.com:81/zones/:Europe/London

I've no idea how accurate these are compared to the 'official tides' or
even real life.

So Ceredigion CC are in breach of copyright?

Hi Paul,

I've found Google is becoming very poor at finding in minority web-sites,
all to do with them concentrating on page ranking & links. rather than
keywords. E.g. Searching on Penzance Weather lists my site at No 1 on
Excite, AllTheWeb, Altavista, Wanadoo, Ask Jeeves, Lycos, but it no longer
appears in the top 100 on Google (it used to be 2 or 3), but loads of sites
with a brief mention of weather in Cornwall do. I think Google need to
rethink their direction, unless they are only interested in becoming more of
a 'Corporate' listing.

There are various freeware packages you can download to calculate tides. Try
typing tide prediction freeware on one of the metasearch engines. Also
http://easytide.ukho.gov.uk/EasyTide...ide/index.aspx allows you to
calculate tides online for 1 week in advance.

If you have difficulty finding a free package, email me direct & I'll try &
come up with a decent one.

It would be interesting to see that tested in court. My understanding
has always been that factual data cannot be copyright, though a
particular format in which it is presented could be.

No good for Tides, but click on Maps, then Mousehole, then cottages in

That was a link I didn't know I had.

People aren't *supposed* to be able to load music off the internet
without paying for it either, but it's there nonetheless...

It is possible to purchase booklets of tidal predictions for the whole year

But not from Cheltenham...!

Thanks for those links Goalie.

I've checked predictions for random dates with my Tides 3.7 program and
they coincide to within a minute so they have obviously been calculated
using the same constants and harmonics.
I also checked them against the Hydrographer's prediction and found that
they never varied by more than 15 minutes.


Actually, it's heights rather than times I'm more interested in.

Thanks for your help.

When I've been to St Ives in the past, there was a little pink tide
leaflet you could buy, but obviously that isn't an option from
Cheltenham.

It's only really the week from 7/10/06 that I'm interested in, as that's
when I have a holiday booked. I know there's a full moon on the 7th, but
I don't know if the biggest tides will be with the full or new moon that
month.
