Tide chart SF bay 2023

Figured I’d try to make a tide chart for y’all flatly lovers
Downloaded the data from NOAA and imported into Google Spreadsheets, then whooped a simple X-Y formula to compute tide differences, and color coded based on that.

It’s my first time making such a chart. I hope you find it useful.

 Could you color code it to show weekends 

Could you color code it to show weekends 

I think so. But I usually fish on weekdays (kids, you know). So I’ll color the weekends red 

Nice chart, Li-Orca.

In your opinion, what is the optimal differential, or range of differentials, for finding halibut?

Quite impressive, I like it, thanks for your work on this project. it helps a lot. May the fishing gods bestow an extra flatties for your service, Ron.

Nice chart, Li-Orca.

In your opinion, what is the optimal differential, or range of differentials, for finding halibut?

Sorry for the late response. I think sub 4 is considered very good, but 5 is ok too. I’m not a halibut expert by any means, but I know people catch them in many conditions. It’s more about finding the right spot and using the right presentation.

Thanks for the tide input, li.

Great base to start with. 
But theres a ton of other factors that help.  Location, depth, wind direction, abundance of bait fish, water clarity, water salinity, water temperature... list goes on and on.

But the biggest factor is sitting at home on the computer, typing on NCKA, and not getting on the water 

 

Well said.

Good info.  Will try to pay attention to tides differentials when I am out.
