🔍 Key Concepts

• Flood vs. ebb current – which way does the water flow on a flood? • How to read a current station and its set (direction) near LAT 37°04.3'N, LONG 76°06.4'W • Difference between true direction of set and the general direction toward the sea or toward the bay/harbor

💭 Think About

• Locate roughly where 37°04.3'N, 76°06.4'W is on the chart (what inlet/harbor or bay is nearby?). Then think: on a flood current there, is water moving generally in toward the land/harbor or out to sea? • Remember that set is expressed as the direction toward which the current flows (like wind direction is from, current set is toward). What compass direction best matches the way flood water would move at that location? • Use your knowledge of how tides behave at the mouth of a bay/estuary: during flood, does the current flow into the bay or out of it? Then translate that into the closest compass point given in the choices.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify on the chart which side is the open ocean and which side is the bay/harbor near this latitude and longitude. • Confirm that for a flood current, the flow is toward the area of rising water level (toward high water), not away from it. • Check that the direction you choose is the direction toward which the water moves, not the direction it comes from.
