Apps are grand until you're three bays past reception with salt on your hands. A printed tide table works in the wet, in the sun, in the glovebox and at the bach — and it's faster to read at a glance than anything on a screen. Ours are built on the same LINZ figures as the official tables, redrawn the OceanFun way so you can see the whole month coming.
When to fish is crucial.
You've got your spots. But the fish keep their own timetable — worked out long ago by John Alden Knight's solunar research and proven ever since: the moon says when they feed. Our Bite Times book puts those times in your pocket for every day of the year.

OUR STORY
Tides since 1987.
OceanFun began in 1987 with its first Tide Times Calendar — first as Ocean Fun Unlimited, now OceanFun Publishing, Limited. The first Tide Times pocketbook followed in 1991. If the tide table says the water's coming, it's because LINZ said so first — we just make it a pleasure to read.
