Does anyone know the difference of tide chart if I use packer channel data?

I would say too big a difference to make plans by. The Packery tide charts are often off by hours compared to the actual tides. I was told once the times are ballpark times. I compared the tide charts for Port A and Packery and was surprised at the time difference.

Good fishing......

All the tide charts are pretty iffy in all of the saltwater locals that I have fished, those being down there, Destin and Vero Beach Florida, and Orange Beach Al. A guy fishing on the south jetty at Sebastian Inlet told me that the actual turning of the tide is almost always late because all that moving water can't just stop on a dime because the scientific data says it's high or low tide!

Made sense to me, but I have also been fishing at the same spot with an outgoing tide when the charts said the opposite, had it go slack and switch within 10 minutes and come in for maybe 30, then go slack and switch back to outgoing again in another 10 minutes!!!!

The coastal bend doesn't have the extremes between high and low tide (heights) that the east coast of Florida does, but, the same screwy stuff happens....
