Tide is 80% of peak right now... Tide is 60% of peak right now... Tide is 40% of peak right now...

~~Yeah but 80% of peak low tide seems weird. The less low tide you get means the higher the tide?~~

Nevermind I looked closer and it's clearly labeled 'hours' so it's more of a countdown than a percentage, which makes total sense.

Ah, yeah, you're right, I didn't notice the hours label either. So yeah, percents don't make sense. Good call.

It’s also ８-６-４-２-０-８-６-４-２-０... as opposed to ８-６-４-２-０-２-４-６-８-10. But is low/high tide not every 6.2 hours or something?
