However, as someone without a tide science backgorund, I don't have a great understanding of what these features do, and so am unsure of whether I should be simply using the defaults or turn on any of these features to improve the accuracy of my tide modelling.

For example, important things to consider or keep in mind so that users can make an informed decision based on their use case. 🙂 I could imagine this perhaps living somethere like this:
