+A tide harmonic calculator written in TypeScript.

-## 🚨Warning🚨
-
-**Do not use calculations from this project for navigation, or depend on them in any situation where inaccuracies could result in harm to a person or property.**
-
-Tide predictions are only as good as the harmonics data available, and these can be inconsistent and vary widely based on the accuracy of the source data and local conditions.
-
-The tide predictions do not factor events such as storm surge, wind waves, uplift, tsunamis, or sadly, climate change. 😢

 # Installation

-# yarn
-yarn add @neaps/tide-prediction

-## Importing
-
-You can import the module using Ecmascript, or CommonJS. Note that the CommonJS export is transpiled, so deep debugging the module that way will be difficult.
-
-```js
-import TidePrediction from '@neaps/tide-prediction'
-const TidePrediction = require('@neaps/tide-prediction')
-```
-
-There are also packaged and minified versions for the browser in `dist/web`.
 
 # Usage
 
-Neaps requires that you [provide your own tidal harmonics information](#constituent-object) to generate a prediction.
-
-Because many constituent datum come with multiple phases (in the case of NOAA's data, they are `phase_local` and `phase_GMT`), there is a `phaseKey` option for choosing which to use.

-Note that, for now, Neaps **will not** do any timezone corrections. This means you need to pass date objects that align with whatever timezone the constituents are in.

 - `constituents` - An array of [constituent objects](#constituent-object)
 - `options` - An object with one of:

   - `offset` - A value to add to **all** values predicted. This is useful if you want to, for example, offset tides by mean high water, etc.
