use the same mechanism to control the tide/forecast units that you would 
for any other units display.

[Units]
    [[Groups]]
        group_temperature = degree_C
        ...

put it in the skin.conf, or put it in weewx.conf (with two more levels of 
nesting)

if you want to change the 'forecast' skin, then put it in 
'forecast/skin.conf'

but i highly recommend that you do not modify the forecast skin - use it to 
verify that forecasts are working on your system.  it shows how to use the 
forecasting features, but it is not a good ux/ui in and of itself, and it 
is cpu-intensive since out-of-the-box it does many different forecast 
displays.

you should use it as an example to create/modify your own skins, then 
disable it.
