THE BOOK OF TIDES
The tide is the most powerful force you will ever meet at the coast — it shapes the land, controls the sea, and influences every adventure on the water. Yet for many people, it remains a mystery.
The Book of Tides unlocks this hidden world. With clear explanations, stunning illustrations, and stories drawn from a life of sailing, sea swimming, and exploration, William Thomson reveals how tides and currents really work — and how understanding them can transform your time at the coast.
Whether you’re a swimmer, paddleboarder, sailor, kayaker, or simply someone who loves walking by the sea, this book will give you the knowledge to enjoy the ocean with confidence and respect.
📖 Inside you’ll discover:
- Why tides rise and fall, and how to predict them anywhere in the world
- How rip currents form, and the simple steps to stay safe
- The secrets of tidal streams, overfalls, whirlpools and bores
- Inspiring stories of adventure and survival at sea
This is more than a guide — it’s a beautifully crafted companion for anyone drawn to the water. Once you’ve read it, you’ll never look at the sea in the same way again.
