The tide at Nahant

A ten-foot range onto flats that go out and out. Low water opens ground that is under several feet of Atlantic six hours later — including the causeway rocks people misjudge every summer.

What the water does here

Nahant runs two highs and two lows a day, and rarely the same size twice. Between low and high the water moves about 9.4 feet, averaged across a week of predictions.

A Wavepane on the wall shows that as a picture rather than a table: the water sits where the water sits, and the wave on top grows or flattens with the swell outside. It wakes every half hour, redraws, and goes back to sleep. Nothing to open, nothing to check.
