Heights are astronomical predictions above MLLW, not observed water levels. The hourly curve uses cosine interpolation between predicted high and low tides; it is not tidal current speed or direction. A high/low tide does not establish slack current. Wind and river flow can change actual levels. Tide phase points in fishing scores are provisional heuristics, not observed fish activity. Source: NOAA/NOS/CO-OPS.
