Does it due to my time zone ? What is algorithm process which manages time zone tide data and calculates the good tide graph position in function of actual time? So what will happen in October after the time zone change (winter hour) ?

It is based on your physical location. When you are out there, you can save that specific location for the tide data.
Yes. But It giving the Wong data by an hour. And that’s a big diference. I am guessing because it’s not calculating the proper time for Hawaii in relation to day light savings tive? I noticed on my Fénix…
Hi, did this get sorted as my tides all went exactly 1 hour behind when daylight saving happened here in the UK. Its annoying and also dangerous as I got caught out last weekend. Th. Any help or info appreciated…
I was one of the biggest complainers about the tide data being inaccurate. But finally figured it out. At least for north Orange County between HB pier to Seal Beach. If you punch in ‘Current Location’ it takes you to a tide station at Los Patos bridge which I’m guessing is somewhere in Huntington Harbor or the wetlands. I found the data from that location and it was the same as the data on my watch for “current location.” So instead I stuck in the “coordinates” for Newport river jetties and boom tide data on my watch matched up with tide data on surfline and other tide apps. It saved as ‘Irvine’ for location so I was a little off on the coordinates but I got accurate tide data now for Bolsa Chica and beaches up and down from there. YRMV

Anyone got this sorted yet? I gave same issue of 1 hour out. Thanks
Same problem here with, 1h time difference with the real tides. (v14.20)
Same problem, as has the obe other Surf owner I know in person.
Tried saved locations, new locations, co ordinates the tides are always out by 50 minutes of so, its not the daylight saving or it would be exactly an hour. There is a problem in the tide database(seems unlikely as they are all over the web to the minute for yrs to come) of the retrieval process. Either way given how much Garmin is promoting this feature that doesn't actually work some acknowledgment would be nice.
Wierdly mine started working correctly this weekend for no reason I can explain! 100 working at the moment, but maybe when BST ends in October things might go wrong again.
I did suggest to Garmin that as they owned an Italian company called Navionics, that they may want to ask them how it works as they have been correct for years!
I find Garmin's complacency on (not only) this subject annoying, but could the reason for the sudden improvement be this?
I met someone else the other day with the same watch. They said it was great accept for surfing and tides.
Garmin were absolutely no help at all. I did get a reply from world weather oline though. They have now "fixed" the problem. The tide times are now anywhere from 10 - 30 mins fast on my watch. So not perfect but I know if I take off 20 mins then I'm going to be pretty close to the correct times which will do for me."
Ahora si funionan bien las mareas! es un milagro! un año despues!
solo falta arreglar el conteo de olas
hello i'm having the same problem!
Today I received my exchange garmin because the first one damaged the ABC button, in the first one the tides worked perfectly but this new one has -1 hour for the same places in Portugal - Aveiro and Matosinhos, it will be a problem in this new equipment since the previous one worked well??
But not the main thing, keep you safe, who cares about those many thing if you have 8ft in a shallow reef break.. they should make a data base like rip curl does
