Hi Tony, two tides per day could be OK because there are various types of tidal cycles (as diurnal, semi-diurnal and mixed). You can read more for example at https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/education/tutorial_tides/tides07_cycles.html. First look at the examples you posted seemed OK to me, if you have any other question just let me know here or at api@marea.ooo. Have a great day! Vojta срд 10:02 30/3/22

Hi, this is intentional as we rate limit the requests. The free plan is limited to one request per second (as stated at https://rapidapi.com/apihood/api/tides/pricing) so if you need more requests you have to either upgrade your plan (you can see limits in the linked pricing page) or write us email at hi@hood.land with your use case if you need a custom plan. Have a great day! Vojta срд 11:43 1/12/21

Hi Chris, I'm sorry to hear that you are having problems with the prediction precision. We are currently using mathematical model which uses historical water level measurements and satellite altimetry. The model is global (meaning for all world oceans), but the quality may vary by the location. Because of that we are currently adding another global model and few thousands predictions around the world which are based on the historical tide gauge measurements in the particular location. For the mentioned location we are going to add predictions based on the water level measurements from Cuxhaven. New values would be: | Provider | High Tide | Low Tide | High Tide | Low Tide | High Tide | |-----------------------|-----------|----------|-----------|----------|-----------| | BSH | 20:35 | 03:12 | 09:09 | 15:46 | 21:44 | | Marea.ooo (Current) | 21:16 | 01:41 | 09:46 | 14:04 | 22:15 | | Marea.ooo (Cuxhaven) | 21:07 | 03:30 | 09:39 | 16:01 | 22:08 | | Marea.ooo (New model) | 20:20 | 02:46 | 08:54 | 15:20 | 21:31 | You can take a look at the [current model](https://stage.marea.ooo/en/53.875/8.75), [Cuxhaven station](https://stage.marea.ooo/en/53.875/8.75?station_radius=5) or [new model](https://stage.marea.ooo/en/53.875/8.75?model=eot20) at the staging marea page (please note that this is development environment which might not be available all the time). If you want to be notified when the new API is deployed to the production, please subscribe for notification at https://api.hood.land or let us know at [hi@hood.land](mailto:hi@hood.land). Please let me know if you have any other questions. Have a nice day Vojta втр 4:45 3/8/21

Hi Andrey, thank you for the clarification. I took a quick look at the sites you posted and it seems you are right that there are differences. I just wanted to point out that for example for https://magicseaweed.com/Playa-Negra-Limon-Surf-Report/2497/ tide forecast is from Limon ("Tide Location Limon - 21.87 miles away") which is quite far, so I was comparing following for 20th May 2021 https://marea.ooo/en/9.974054/-83.01094 https://magicseaweed.com/Playa-Negra-Limon-Surf-Report/2497/ https://tablademareas.com/cr/costa-mar-caribe/limon#_oleaje https://www.tideschart.com/Costa-Rica/Limon/Limon/Limon/ | Provider | High Tide | Low Tide | High Tide | Low Tide | |-----------------|-----------|-----------|-----------|---------| | Tideschart | 5:30 | 12:54 | 19:42 | 0:49 | | MSW | 4:30 | 11:54 | 18:42 | 23:49 | | Tabla de Mareas | 6:00 | 12:34 | 20:12 | 0:29 | | Marea.ooo | 4:57 | 12:38 | 19:08 | 0:52 | So it seems to me that MSW has the same results, but moved by 1 hour as Tideschart. Marea.ooo for location near Limon is somewhat between the sources you posted. The important thing is to compare locations which are close to each other as bathymetry and other factors influence the prediction. The good news is that you are using the API correctly (sometimes people have problems with timezones and tidal datums) but bad news is that I can't help you more as the prediction is what it is. As I mentioned before, the quality of global model can vary by location. As I mentioned we are looking for a way how to validate the data in places with available (near)real time measurements. So when we have something new in this particular location I'll let you know. Please let me know if you have other questions. Have a nice day Vojta чтв 10:15 20/5/21
