The Current sub tab contains shows information for currents in a 24-hour span, 

starting at midnight. You can choose from different dates and more than 3,000 

Current Stations around the U.S.A. coastline, Alaska, Hawaii, western Canada, 

and several of the Caribbean islands. The top of the Current sub tab shows the 

Current Station and the date. The bottom of the tab shows the distance and 

bearing from your location. 

The Current sub tab contains two charts: one for speed and one for direction. 
The top chart is the speed chart, which shows the speed of a given current at any 

point during the day. The shaded area is blue (Flood Current) when the current is 

heading toward shore; the shaded area is red (Ebb Current) when the current is 

heading away from shore. 
The bottom chart is the direction chart, which shows the direction of the current 

at any given point during the day (based on the north reference, not true north).

The bottom of each chart shows a 24-hour block of local time for your location. 

Day (yellow bar) and night (blue bar) at the

 

Current Station appear across the 

time scale, with the time progressing from left to right (sunrise and sunset 

information may not be available for some stations). The solid, light vertical 

lines are in 4-hour increments, and the light, dotted vertical lines are in 1-hour 

increments. A solid, vertical line (with the local time at the top) indicates the 

strength of the current that corresponds to the time shown in the local time box.
