Current Sub Tab
The Current sub tab contains graphical charts showing information 
for currents in a 24-hour span starting at midnight. You can choose 
from different dates and 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.
