The pocket book size of this new publication makes it most convenient for all recreational users but an important feature of the new publication is the increased size of the graphical chart format (when compared with an earlier pocket book publication). This larger graphical format now makes these pocket charts suitable for larger yacht or boat navigation and professional services as the better chart clarity now enables easy reading of the pocket chart with the naked eye.

All times are on a 24 hour basis and are changed to Daylight Savings Times where applicable. This makes the charts particularly user friendly, as there is no need to add one hour to any times during the Daylight Savings Period. The tide for Sydney is presented as a continuous curve, so the tidal height may be readily ascertained for any time of the day, and for any day in the year.

In addition, for every day of the year, the time of the tidal highs and lows are given (as for conventional tide tables), also the times for sunrise, sunset, moonrise and moonset and the moon phase (new moon, first quarter, full moon, last quarter) if it occurs on that day. The publication presents the tide in weekly charts starting Thursday , so that long holiday weekends are conveniently spanned in the one weekly chart.

Tidal time corrections in relation to Sydney are provided for 140 estuarine and river locations throughout NSW, from the Tweed River in the North to Eden in the South.

The charts may be purchased from most newsagents in seaside locations in NSW. If there should be any difficulty in finding a stockist of the charts, please contact the publisher (on the above phone number) and they can provide you with the location of your nearest stockist.

If you only require some predictions for the next few days check our Sydney Predicted Tide Plot.
