As stated above, tides are often unpredictable and amplitudes can vary wildly from week to week. Users must exercise all due diligence to ensure safety while using these tide forecasts.
The frequency and magnitude of extreme storm tides are calculated from digital records, but this may bias the results in places without historic storms.
For example, Tauranga Harbour experienced the highest skew surge during cyclone Giselle in 1968. However, the tide gauge was not operational during this storm, making it impossible to analyze the data on an hourly basis. Joint-probability methods are used to overcome this problem.
