That was my thought.  What happens with a tubular tower.........OMG.  It doesn't matter where the faces of the tower point.  You calibrate the rotor the antenna.

I live in a place that has a Declination of approximately plus16 degrees.
I am putting my tower in soon, so I want to do it right. I have asked
several hams and one says "just use magnetnetic" the other says "follow
your lot lines".

I want to do it right . If I am turning my beamChile, I don't want to
actually be shooting at the ocean.

Any advice please
