Tide tables.  Very cool.

I found a PalmPilot program called "TideTool" that did this
very well indeed.  I think it's a port of XTide for UNIX.

You need to load a database for the area you wish to get
tides for.  This gives the program the parameters it needs
to calculate the tides in any given location.

Since I carry the silly thing everywhere, I'm always pulling
it out at the beach to see what the tide is doing.
