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.
