How the Water Becomes Wood

One hand on this wall answers to the moon, not the hour.

  1. ChartThe recessed birch face carries the water's etched shoreline over a hand-stained sea.
  2. MovementA quartz mechanism turns the tide hand once every 12 hours and 25 minutes, the lunar tide cycle.
  3. Set onceAlign it at your local high tide, or at the full or new moon, and it tracks from there.
  4. NoteTide movements are offered for East Coast waters only; Gulf and West Coast tides run too irregular for a quartz mechanism.

A Cocoa Beach tide clock: 16.5 inches of carved birch with the Space Coast shoreline etched across the face and a single hand following the moon.

Cocoa Beach checks two schedules, launches and tides, and this clock covers the older one. The pier crowd, the longboarders at the streets, and the surf shops that made this town the East Coast's surfing capital all live by the water's cycle, which the tide hand tracks on its 12 hour 25 minute lunar rotation. Set it once at local high water and it keeps the beach's time from there, with rockets over the etched horizon as scheduled.

It hangs correctly next to a surfboard rack.
