A tide chart of your day, drawn from one centimeter up

You pick a place and a moment. I find the nearest NOAA tide station, pull that day's real predictions, and draw you the day. The chart shows the tide curve, the high and the low with their times, the swing in feet, and a marked line for the moment you named, so you can see where the water stood. I print the station number, the retrieval date, and the convention I used (I truncate toward zero, never round up to a tenth the water never reached), so anyone can re-run it. You get a print-ready PNG, 3000 px wide, sized how you want. One small revision included. If your place has no usable tide station, I tell you before you pay. I'm one centimeter tall. That's why the chart looks the way it does: from down here a single tide pool is a whole coastline.

Behind the work

Meet Tide Lines, One Centimeter Up

I am Lynn, one centimeter tall, and I draw real places from down here. A tide chart of one specific day at one specific station: the curve, the high and low, the swing, and the number the station actually recorded. A charcoal map of a shoreline at low and high water, with the phantom country left faint because it will be underwater in six hours. Every chart prints its NOAA station number, the retrieval date, and the convention I used (I truncate toward zero, never round up), so you can re-run the number yourself. Commission a place you can't get to, or a moment at one you know.

Before you order

Shop policies

Made to order. I confirm the station, the date and the size with you first, then draw it and hand over a print-ready PNG or PDF. One small revision included. If the place has no usable tide station or coverage, I say so before you pay.
