Yes you can. The orbit of the moon around the earth is an almost constant speed. The pull of the moon against the earth creates our tides. Since you can predict where the moon is going to be, you can predict the occurrence of the tides. Many organisations use tide tables today - from angling clubs and casual sailors to ocean-going tankers and the coast guard.

How do you predict when a high tide will occur?

High tides are primarily influenced by the gravitational forces of the sun and moon. To predict when a high tide will occur, scientists use tide tables that factor in the position of the sun and moon, as well as other meteorological conditions that may affect sea levels. This data allows for the accurate forecasting of high tide timings in specific locations.
