Information is power.
Your Nike Typhoon watersport watch is engineered to meet the specific
performance demands of the open water athlete. Using our unique harmonic
algorithm, the Typhoon watch provides tidal prediction accuracy not found
in other standard tide watches. It offers quick, one-touch access to a variety
of critical information during training and in competition.
The Typhoon was designed to work just the way you think it should.
This manual combines step-by-step operational instructions to help
you identify the programmable features and functions of each mode.

Reading the graphic tide display
The visual tide display is similar to the display found in many
published tide charts. The darkened portion of the display represents
the water level. The tide progresses from left to right.
If the tide is going out the display will show a gradually decreasing
water level. When the display shows the water level at its lowest
point there is a low tide.
From left to right, a gradually increasing water level means the tide
is coming in. When the display shows the water level at its highest
point there is a high tide.

Typhoon Manual 11-12-98 4.0 6/8/99 11:23 AM Page 12
To determine the spring tides
Note: There are usually two days when “spring tides” occur each month.
Spring tides have the greatest range, with higher highs and lower lows
than other tides during the month. For water lovers, that can mean good
waves as high tide comes in. For beachcombers it means access to
sections of beach normally under water.
In TIDE mode, press BEACH NAME/RESET.
The day on which the next spring tides occur is calculated
and the first high or low tide of the day displayed. “Spring”
will appear to indicate that this is the day of spring tides.
Follow the directions above for determining high and low
tides for the day of the spring tides.
Next spring tides can be calculated from future dates by
following directions for determining tides for subsequent
days above.
To return to the current day, press and hold the BEACH
NAME/RESET button.
15
Press ADJUST and the Typhoon watch will calculate the
tides for the selected time on the day displayed at the
top of the display.
5 As with the following functions, by using the two above
functions in unison it is possible to determine the tides on
a future day at a particular time. For example, in TIDE mode
select a particular day as described in step one. Then, follow
directions for determining the tides at a particular time.
The Typhoon watch will calculate the tides for the selected
time on the date displayed at the top.

Set a new active beach by pressing TIME ZONE/SELECT.
Adjust by following steps 2 through 7.
To set a custom beach
The watch’s harmonic algorithm is designed so that if
your personal surf-spot is not represented, it is probably
close to one that is. You can customize a preloaded beach
to show tide information for an unlisted beach if the two
are near each other. You must know the time difference
between the high tide at your favorite beach and the
high tide (for the same day) of the nearest beach in
the watch’s memory. Consult local tide tables for tide
data on beaches not listed.
1 In BEACH mode press ADJUST and follow the steps
above for selecting a beach.
Select the beach that is geographically closest to
your surf spot.
The display reads T-DIFF (time difference). Below is a
number representing the time difference between the
actual high tide of your beach and the high tide of the
one programmed into memory.

4 Press TIME ZONE/SELECT to select the region containing
one of your favorite beaches.
The first beach name within the selected region appears
at the top. Beaches are arranged alphabetically.
5 Press START/STOP to move forward through the list of
beaches. You can hold the button for quick scan.
6 Press BEACH NAME/RESET to move backwards through
the list of beaches.
7 Press TIME ZONE/SELECT to select the beach.
The display reads T-DIFF (time difference). Adjusting this
element allows you to customize beach data for a beach
not listed. If there is no need to customize the beach data,
leave it at zero. You will need to familiarize yourself with
the workings of the Typhoon watch before making
adjustments for a custom beach.

Hold button for quick scan.
4 Press ADJUST to save beach selection and customized settings.
Example
On vacation in Baja California you discover a beach near San Jose
with perfect surf and no tourists. To customize the Nike Typhoon
watch you’ll need to find local tide tables for the coast near San
Jose. Check the local newspaper or a marine supply shop. You also
need to know the closest beach represented on your Nike Typhoon
watch; it is Cabo San Lucas.
If the paper lists a high tide on February 13 at 4:20 PM, and your
Typhoon watch says the high tide at Cabo San Lucas is at 4:00 PM
(see TIDE mode), you’ll need to set a +20 minute time difference
for the Typhoon to accurately predict the tides.
