Data sources & tide adjustment
Personal, non-commercial first pass. Weather and marine forecasts from Open-Meteo, using its forecast model selection. Data licensed under CC BY 4.0. Forecasts are predictions, not live measurements.
Tide data © Toitū Te Whenua Land Information New Zealand, reused under CC BY 4.0. Reference: LINZ Tauranga predictions. This app modifies every high and low tide time by +30 minutes, following your chosen Katikati / Kauri Point convention. This is your Bowentown Harbour fishing estimate, not a published Bowentown Entrance correction. Heights remain Tauranga reference heights. No surge or local current prediction is included.
Wind uses a point near Bowentown Harbour; swell uses a sea grid outside the entrance. Offshore swell does not describe chop inside the harbour. The tide dial illustrates water-level phase, not current speed or slack water.
