These charts have been generated using the Wethey Lab (University of South Carolina) Tide Generator which acts as an interface with the XTide Harmonic Clock tide predictor that you will find here. They are predicted based on existing data provided by the tidal monitoring station in Puntarenas, Costa Rica, and should be accurate for most of the open beaches on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica.

Do not use this data as a basis for any decisions that could result in harm to people, other organisms, or property. Check these predictions against officially sanctioned tables. Agencies like NOAA exist because there is a need for certifiably correct tide predictions. Do not rely on these predictions if you need guaranteed results.
