WWW Tide and Current Predictor (XTide) Northern sites (except Japan) =20 outside contiguous U.S. (East to West) Main page: http://tbone.biol.sc.edu/tide/index.html Whole List of northern tide sites-page: http://tbone.biol.sc.edu/=20 tide/sites_othernorth.html The Jeddore prediction (current two days): http://tbone.biol.sc.edu/=20 tide/tideshow.cgi?site=3DJeddore+Harbour%2C+Nova+Scotia This may, or may not, be useful but generally it looks like the =20 difference in Cole Harbour from a Halifax prediction is probably =20 within 10 minutes unless it is similar to inlets like =20 Chezzetcook. Hoefully there is someone with practical experience =20 with tides in this area that can shed some light here. I do know =20 that the tide northeast of Halifax tends to be a few minutes earlier =20 than Halifax and tide southwest of Halifax tends to be a few minutes =20 later than Halifax, but once one gets around the south end of the =20 province and up into the Bay of Fundy the differences get =20 significently greater the further along you go. For example, Minas =20 Basin tides are about 5 hours later than Halifax.
