Jupiter, Florida Wood Tide Clock | Carved Birch Coastal Wall Clock
How the Water Becomes Wood
One hand on this wall answers to the moon, not the hour.
- ChartThe recessed birch face carries the water's etched shoreline over a hand-stained sea.
- MovementA quartz mechanism turns the tide hand once every 12 hours and 25 minutes, the lunar tide cycle.
- Set onceAlign it at your local high tide, or at the full or new moon, and it tracks from there.
- NoteTide movements are offered for East Coast waters only; Gulf and West Coast tides run too irregular for a quartz mechanism.
A Jupiter tide clock: the inlet, the Loxahatchee, and Jupiter Island etched into a 16.5 inch carved birch face, with a single hand keeping the moon's schedule.
Jupiter runs on the inlet's opinion. The current through the jetties swings with the cycle, the snook stack up on the outgoing, the sandbar crowd assembles on the low, and the lighthouse watches all of it from the north bank. The tide hand rotates once every 12 hours and 25 minutes to match the lunar cycle, so after one setting against local high water it keeps the inlet's rhythm on your wall through the whole season.
It belongs where the rods and the beach chairs live, or on the office wall of anyone who plans lunch around slack tide.
The island's full water is carved in relief on the Jupiter Island 3D chart.
