Don't see your water? Order it anyway. Tell us the town, beach or harbor, choose a design, palette and size, and we'll draw every high and low tide of 2027 for it from the nearest NOAA tide station.
How made-to-order works
1. Tell us the place. Any US town, beach, island or harbor on tidal water. Add a second name if it helps us find it, like "Ogunquit, Perkins Cove".
2. We find your station. We match it to the nearest NOAA tide prediction station and print that station's name on the poster. If there isn't one close enough to be meaningful, we'll email you before anything prints and refund you in full.
3. We draw it and print it. Your poster is drawn from that station's 2027 predictions, in the design, palette and size you chose, and goes to print within 2 business days. From there it ships like any other Year of Tides poster.

How to read it
Currents. Each of the 365 small dials is one day. Its hands point to the hours of high water the way a clock's would: the thick hand is the morning high, the thin one the afternoon or evening, and a longer hand means higher water. The exact times are printed beside it, bold for highs and light for lows. The tide comes about fifty minutes later each day, so the hands turn steadily as the year runs down the page. The twelve highest tides of the year are picked out in the palette's accent color.
Waves. Each row is one day, midnight to midnight. Every stretch of hours when the water stands above half tide is a stroke, with its time and height printed on it. Because the tide comes later each day, the strokes braid into diagonals, and one sweep across the page is one lunar month. The color deepens with the height of the water, so the spring tides after each new and full moon run darkest. The twelve highest tides are picked out in the accent color, low tides are small open dots, and weekends are tinted so you can find a Saturday at a glance.
Both designs show the moon's phases in the margin.
Sizes, paper and frames
12 × 18 in suits a hallway, a shelf or a small wall. 18 × 24 in hangs well over a desk or a sideboard and reads easily from across the room. 24 × 36 in is a statement piece for over a sofa or a bed.
Paper. Heavyweight 189 gsm enhanced matte paper, printed with archival pigment inks. Unframed prints ship rolled in a sturdy tube.
Frames. Solid black wood, 0.75 in wide, with a shatterproof acrylic front and hanging hardware attached. The frame lip covers about ¼ in of the print's edge, and every poster is laid out with that margin in mind. Framed prints ship flat in a reinforced box, ready to hang.
