What is TideComp?

TideComp

TideComp is your go-to app for all things tide-related. Whether you’re cruising around Portsmouth, Phuket, the Galapagos, or San Francisco, it gives you the quick answers you need about the tides. This is super important for long-distance cruising and racing yachts!

Why Tides Matter

Even in places that seem to have no tides, like the Mediterranean or parts of the Pacific, there can still be small rises and falls that create strong currents. For instance, many Polynesian atolls become tricky to enter when the tide is flowing out. Plus, if you're planning to navigate through busy areas like the straits of Gibraltar or Messina, timing is everything! Running aground on a reef? Knowing when high tide hits can be a lifesaver—even if it’s just a few centimeters!

Smart Solutions with TideComp

The TideComp application has got your back! It’s built on some seriously smart math algorithms developed over ten years. Many ocean voyagers and sailors have relied on it during their adventures, including participants from major events like the Whitbread race and Blue Water Rally.
