If you only use WXTide through somebody's web page, you won't necessarily see this warning, but it still applies.
Agencies like NOAA exist because there is a need for certifiably correct tide predictions. Please don't rely on WXTide if you need guaranteed results. There is NO WAY I can get certified data on a zero budget. I rely on users like you to tell me when something is wrong. Please continue to do so.
