I've just noticed that it is said on the download page:
http://www.flaterco.com/xtide/files.html
"and are public domain"

They are at:
ftp://ftp.flaterco.com/xtide/wvs.tar.bz2

I think that these should be in a separate source package, without %{?dist}
and installed below %_datadir (for example in %{_datadir}/xtide_wvs/). 
The xtide package would depend on these.

There may be directories in /etc/xtide.conf (xtide will use all
the files from these directories), so I think the simplest thing to 
do would be to have directories in /etc/xtide.conf, along

%{_sysconfdir}/xtide/:%{_datadir}/xtide/
%{_sysconfdir}/xtide_wvs/:%{_datadir}/xtide_wvs/

and adjust the tideEditor wrapper such that it takes the first file
appearing in the directories listed in xtide.conf, and set WVS_DIR
to the first directory in the second line containing one of the
wvs files.
