NOAA Current Predictions About

This product provides expanded tidal current predictions for stations in NOAA's published Tidal Current tables.

Customized predictions are calculated "on-the-fly" and are available in graphical and text format. Six-minute, half-hour and hourly tidal current predictions can be generated for all stations with harmonic constituents. The product also offers predicted time and speed of maximum flood/ebb current and timing of slack water (no current) for all stations available in the published current tables. Daily, weekly or yearly predictions can be downloaded in text, CSV, XML and PDF formats.

Users also have the option to highlight currents above or below a given speed threshold to provide approximate time periods of maximum or slack current, which is useful for boaters and divers alike. This product will be maintained operationally with quarterly updates, providing the most up-to-date current predictions when new data are collected and analyzed by CO-OPS.
