This is wonderful Matt, thank you so very much!! I will study this and try
implementing this weekend.
FWIW, I followed the procedure as outlined in the section entitled

@ line 25 "A single table stores all forecast information."
Not sure if I've found the correct database @
/var/lib/weewx/forecast.sdb
If this is the correct file, there aren't any tide forecasts; only NWS,
OWM, and Zambretti
Is this why the syslog includes:
Hi Matt,
Within the entirety of the forecast extension, is forecast.py the only file
that contains the path to tide? Are there compiled versions of forecast
files that may still hold vestiges to tide?
Thank you for any reply.
Kind regards,

Wow - the ice is totally gone out of the Charles? Bet the water is still
pretty chilly... though I suppose it wouldn't matter all that much on the
right size boat :)
Whenever you're able to get to it will be just fine; no rush. Maybe me and
my blind man's cane will wander into the reeds.

Matt - How's it going?
One thought that keeps coming up, are any of your tests being done on a
system where the only xtide installation is v2.15.2?

Exactly! And was why I questioned that the period isn't matching the
forecast number of days; e.g., 7 days;
-b'2019-03-22 00:00' -e'2019-03-30 00:00'

Does the weewx.conf call of:
prog = /usr/share/weewx/tide.sh
take precedence over the call at line 3906 in forecast.py?

So far I haven't gotten forecast to run the latest version of tide, but I
understand that you as a developer might want to support tide users of
legacy versions, and I find that refreshing - thank you for helping them! -
and for helping me in trying to get tide to work in forecast.

If the forecast interval has been set to n days, should the tide interval;
i.e., -b -e, do likewise?
What does restx accomplish and is it a forecast term, linux, xtide, etc.,
and why is it set to be (71400 < 604800) - whatever that means??

Will sudo apt-get purge xtide purge only the old deprecated xtide stuff or
will frig with all things xtide system-wide?

otherwise there might be config files lingering around that confound your

The .sh has no luck, but regular tide -l location works.

Hello Matt,
Thank you for your reply.
I'm still not understanding why in /etc/weewx/weewx.conf under
[Forecast]
...
[[XTide]]
prog = /usr/local/bin/tide
What's wrong with this?
And why the need for the tide.sh?
[Forecast]
...
[[XTide]]
prog = /usr/share/weewx/tide.sh

Hello Matt,
Hope you are well. It's been a few days and I haven't heard back from you
yet.
Have you tried to install XTide v2.15.2 and do you have it working with
weewx and the forecast extension?
And did I understand you correctly? - see previous post.
Kind regards,
Kelly

Hello Matt,
Thank you for your reply, though I don't fully understand it.
Have you tried to install XTide v2.15.2 and do you have it working with
weewx and the forecast extension?
*RE: The environment*
/usr/local/bin/tide already knows where to find harmonics as directed by
/etc/environment

Matt - Thanks for the reply.
I'm guessing from your response that there is no documentation on xtide
integration.
XTide is running perfectly on the RPi, but the syslog is still indicating
that there is an issue with weewx: forecast: XTide
even after implementing your suggested path update and
