Part of an exciting new series of small format guides which help you better understand the sea, by William Thomson FRGS.

An essential guide to Tides, clearly explained through a seamless blend of simple descriptions and rich infographics. Tides have a profound impact on adventures along the coast, whether you are sailing, swimming, surfing, scuba diving or stand-up paddleboarding. In this book, William de-mystifies their workings through a mixture of straightforward language and vivid illustrations, sharing the concepts of tides for anyone to understand.

Inspired by explorations on his catamaran Luna, William has drawn upon a mixture of practical experience and theoretical study to create this Explorer Guide, equipping you with the knowledge to know what to expect where and when. With that know-how you can then make decisions with more confidence, planning adventures to harness the energy of tides and ‘Seas The Power’.

William is founder of Tide School and author of Book of Tides who is currently on a long-term sailing voyage with his young family aboard their yellow catamaran, Luna.
