UK tidal stream directions and rates are calculated hourly.
The tidal current data is licensed from the UK Hydrographic Office (UKHO). This is the same data that is used for the tidal diamonds shown on UKHO charts.
The tidal heights for the reference ports come from BODC harmonics (British Oceanographic Data Centre).
A simple outline map is used to display the tidal 'arrows'.
Using the 'Prev/Next' buttons the tidal streams are calculated for each hour using the same information as the UKHO Tidal Stream Atlases. The rate of the current is calculated from the tidal range for the day at the reference port. Placing the cursor at the base of an arrow reveals the direction and rate of the current for that position.
In order to visualise tidal streams for the voyage a GPX route file can be imported. The route is overlaid on the map.
