Coastal Software

Tidal forecasting is a key part of ensuring your coastal operations run smoothly and safely, but it’s not always been the most accessible of sciences.

So we built Poltips, a tidal prediction software that calculates and visualises coastal tides for over 700 standard and secondary ports around the UK.

The UK National Tide Gauge, developed by NOC, provides the up-to-date, high-quality data Poltips uses in its calculations.

And Poltips is so easy to use. You select a location, pick a time period to predict, and choose how you want the tidal data to be presented, i.e. tide tables, text files, graphs, etc.

How and why to use Poltips

Poltips was built by the world’s best coastal tide forecasters for the world’s most accurate coastal tide forecasting.

It uses the harmonic method of tidal prediction with up to 240 harmonic constituents, and it automatically implements alternative methods for complex shallow-water ports to produce the level of accuracy you need.

We’ve embedded years of tide analysis experience into this software and prices start from £189 + tax for a 3-year licence.
