 Websites presented in alphabetical order Frequently Asked Questions: Tide Predictions and Data 
 This FAQ covers topics related to tidal prediction, such as the highest tides, the difference between tide charts and tide tables, the accuracy of predictions, and whether coastal flooding is caused by "perigean spring tide" (when the occurrence of a new or full moon coincides with the moon reaching its closest point of approach to the earth).
