Second the suggestion to take the Power Squadron course.
I'm an inland sailor, so not much tide effect here, but interesting knowledge
to have. The course shows ways to calculate how the set and speed of the tide
will effect the track of the boat and therefore how to adjust course to account
for it. Can be done with geometry on a chart or math.
We can use the info on river flow of course.

Curtis;
First off, I’d suggest your local US Power Squadron chapter and see about
taking a basic “Piloting” course. It will teach you how to calculate tides and
currents from available information, and how to include these into your course
planning. There is a squadron in Beaufortwww.usps.org/localusps/beaufort and
another in Hilton Head Home - Hilton Head Sail & Power Squadron both of which
see close to you.
