Do you mean tide charts ? why don't u just contact a surf shop near where u are going being a boat angler I know from experience that there is no substitute for local knowledge! charts are OK for scientific information about the tides but as you probably aware each area has its own little quirks and little variations some places when the wind blows from the wrong quarter the tides just do not make as they should! this is something I found out after towing my boat down 2 Cornwall from Essex for a weeks fishing a few years ago I checked out all the tides and they all seemed perfect for my needs but on the first day the wind decided 2 swing, "east ward" as I remember holding back the tide just a bit which meant all my perfect slipways and beach launching sites were un-usable spoke 2 a few locals pro fishermen and the like ! and they all said the same thing " aaargh that be normal for this time of the year" so avoid disappointment do your home work first its just the cost of a phone call which is a lot less than towing a large trailer born boat from Essex to Cornwall behind a less than economical Range Rover and also having to cop an ear full from the missus for spoiling the holiday for everybody concerned ! I think she thought my name was Poseidon and that I had some control over the tide sadly its not & I have not she had the hump cos she wanted 2 don her wet suit and get dragged along behind the boat with a couple of planks clipped 2 her feet but all in all it did save me a few quid cos as you are maybe aware a pair of 150hp outboards running almost flat out all day towing a soggy women could drink Saudi -Arabia dry in a matter of days ,so make a couple of phone calls and ask hope this helps a little bit bye bye and have fun !

As above if you're in North Queensland drop right into a fishing address keep they have them on the counter for loose and are a reachable pocket length or glove field length, and cover about a month of tides additionally they provide solid records on fishing spots, coastline protection and places to ascertain

If you can find the website for a local yacht club in the area, they sometimes have links to tide predictions.

This link below has tides but only a week ahead. Zoom in on the map and make sure Easytide box is clicked.

Get a tide table for the year from any fishing tackle shop. they're normally a £1 or so.
