Tide Clock

Discover the Magic of the Ocean—At a Glance! 🌊

 

Are you someone who loves the ocean? Whether you're a boater, surfer, fisher, or beachcomber, a tide clock is your must-have companion.

Why Choose a Tide Clock?

• Never Miss the Perfect Wave: Know when the tides are rising or falling to plan your surfing sessions with precision.
• Fish Smarter, Not Harder: Certain tides bring the best catch—our tide clock makes it easy to hit the water at just the right moment.

How It Works:

This clock tracks the lunar cycle, providing you with an accurate visual of high and low tides—right down to whether they’re rising or falling. No internet? No problem. It’s simple, reliable, and always ready.

Perfect for:

• Ocean lovers
• Coastal homeowners
• Outdoor adventurers
• Anyone who wants to feel closer to nature

Printing:

This tide clock is a 4-color print, and you can pick your own colors for the perfect look. It also features a keyhole slot on the back for hanging. The cavity for the Tide Movement and Keyhole are printed with supports and easily removable. I printed in PLA but consider PETG and ABS if you intend to use it outside.

 

I used Bambu Basic White, Bambu Basic Gradient Artic Whisper Inland PLA Yellow & Inland PLA+ Space Blue

 

Supplies:

You will need to buy a tide movement. This is different than a clock movement. I recommend this inexpensive one from Amazon. (affiliate link) https://amzn.to/3ZtgKUh

 

Assembly and setting your clock:

Place the tide movement mechanism into the cavity on the back, with the battery compartment in the “low tide” direction. Thread the small hex nut included in the kit onto the brass post on the front of the clock. Gently press the clock hand onto the protruding white post. Install the AA battery.

 

Setting your tide clock is easy. Go to www.usharbors.com and enter the location where you want the tide lock to be accurate for (e.g. Miami Beach). Look for the next High or Low tide for that area and set your clock accordingly. Rotate the small wheel on the movement to move the hand. To dial up the accuracy even more, set the clock on a full or new moon!

 

I hope you can appreciate this clock as much as I do!

Enjoy and Happy Printing!
