NYCkayaker Current tables

[bob1may at optonline.net]

Current info for the Hudson is pretty sparse on-line.In addition to the links Mark gave, there is x-tidehttp://xtide.ldeo.columbia.edu:8080/index.htmlbut that only provides a limited selection of current prediction stations.I finally broke down and actually PAID for Nobeltec Tides and Currents.http://www.nobeltec.com/products/prod_tides.aspBob----- Original Message -----From: mark handy Date: Monday, July 23, 2007 1:14 pmSubject: NYCkayaker Current tablesTo: "Tam, April" , nyckayaker-bounces at rockandwater.net, "'Gordon, Peter'" , nyckayaker > The annual Eldridge (yellow book available at marine and > paddling stores) has current predictions for a few key > locations, plus offset tables that let you derive predictions > for other locations.> > The federal government has similar data on line at > http://www.tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov.> This site has similar data, supposedly less reliable but with > fun graphing options:  http://tbone.biol.sc.edu/tide.
