It's the "black art" of coming up with the correct answer only by interrogating/modifying the information around you.
eg. Only the major ports have tidal information, for secondary ports you "extrapolate" info from the major port. Your latitude, distance, time etc. determines how you extrapolate the relevent tide time and height data.
No, I had to look-and I'm not afraid to admit it.
