Terry & Irene,

I believe that the NTF site will only give you tide details for a week
in advance.  

You can generate your own tide tables, use one of these programs:

Linux/Unix:  http://www.flaterco.com/xtide/
Windows:     http://www.wxtide32.com
Palm Pilot:  http://www.toolworks.com/bilofsky/tidetool.htm

These are all based upon the Unix XTide program.  The calculated times
and heights are quite close to the published tables - certainly close
enough for birdwatching purposes.  The location database is quite
extensive, except for the British Isles and 42 other locations worldwide
due to the UK Hydrographic Office being anal retentive (apparently 
Brittania owns the intellectual property of the waves...)
