The oik tides plugin is a subcomponent of the oik plugin. It provides a shortcode [bw_tides tideurl=”http://www.tidetimes.org.uk/Chichester_Harbour.rss”] with the default value for tideurl being as above. Since it gets its information from the tide times or tidetimes.co.uk websites, it only works for the UK.
