Tide coefficient 88 for the 12:03 am high tide and 84 for the 12:34 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 4.2 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?
Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation.

Taltal has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.9 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.
