Tidal Tracking

When the Moon moves around the Earth the gravitational forces from the moon will pull the water to it, this is high tide, when it is faceing the water. When the moon is not faceing the water the water goes back to the way it was this is low tide. The coast that i would like to visit is the coast off of Mexico. In this region there is two low and two high tides every day. The people need to know when high and low tide is so if they are in ships they would need to know when they could get in and out of the coast.
