xtide.el is an Emacs interface to the
XTide program. M-x
xtide displays a graph in a buffer, and other XTide output styles can be
selected. There's a tie-in to
M-x
calendar adding a T key to bring up the tides for the
selected day, like S for sunrise and M for phase of the
moon do.
The XTide GUI of course does all this and more, so if you like that there's no
reason to switch. But on a TTY where the GUI can't run or if you just want to
stay in Emacs then xtide.el is a nice way to browse tide times.
xtide.el is
free software (free

Download version 20 here, either just the .el, or a Debian package
(should run back to Debian 3.1 "sarge") out of my
repo, or the source for the package. Also available through
ELPA.

See tcd-format.el for nosing around in
XTide's .tcd files. The location selector in
xtide.el is one of the view type modes where
scroll-1.el is good too.
