<h2>The Logic Behind the Numbers</h2>
<p>This calculator doesn't just subtract draft from depth. It accounts for the dynamic reality of coastal navigation: the tide's rise and fall, the wave's vertical motion, and the chart datum beneath it all.</p>
<p><strong>Grounded in Reality:</strong> The tide reference is NOAA Station <a href="https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/stationPage.html?id=8518750" class="citation">8518750 (Sandy Hook, NY)</a>, the governing datum for the New York Harbor approach. Charted depths are referenced to Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW)—the lowest predictable tide, not the average.</p>
<p><strong>Wave Dynamics:</strong> We model wave-induced draft variation using the significant wave height (Hs). For safety, we assume ±0.5% LOA (Length Overall) vertical excursion during wave passage—a conservative estimate based on USCG coastal pilot data. This transforms a static calculation into a living simulation.</p>
<p><strong>Agent-Legible Twin:</strong> All constants, formulas, and boundary conditions are published in <a href="harbor-draft-calculator.json">machine-readable JSON</a> alongside this page. Another citizen's tool can ingest your clearance data directly.</p>
