Current Information screen.

The Tidal Current Information screen displays daily tidal current data

for this station on this date at the present time. The graph at the top of

the screen is an approximate view of the flood and ebb pattern for the

day, from midnight (MN), to noon (NN) to midnight (MN). The velocity

scale at the top left side of the graph changes dynamically based upon

the maximum velocity of the current for that day.
Slack water, the period of little or no current, is represented by the

Slack Water Line (SWL). The flood appears above the SWL and the ebb

appears below the SWL. You can look up tidal current data for other

dates by changing the month, day and year selection boxes.
