  • Explain why astronomical forcing produces a local tide rather than a universal timetable, and select the correct dated prediction for a coastal decision.
  • Use the predicted spring-neap range to anticipate depth change and stream strength without assuming a universal lunar delay or equinox maximum.
  • Put soundings, drying heights, tidal heights and overhead clearances on their stated vertical references before making a depth or clearance decision.

A self-guided revision companion that explains essential concepts, then helps you practise and test them. It supports—but does not replace—recognised instruction, practical training, assessment or certification. Access is a one-time payment, not a subscription.
