🔍 Key Concepts

• Flood vs. ebb current – which one is associated with water moving inshore vs. offshore • Relationship between high tide / low tide and the direction of current flow • Difference between tide level (high/low) and tidal current (flood/ebb/slack)

💭 Think About

• First, picture what the water is doing as the sea level drops from high tide down toward low tide – is that flood or ebb? • Then, think about whether an ebb current means water is moving toward the land or away from the land. • Finally, match that mental picture with which tide event it follows: does ebb occur after high tide or after low tide?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on which direction the water is moving relative to the land during an ebb current (toward shore vs. away from shore). • Confirm when that movement happens in the tidal cycle (after high tide vs. after low tide). • Make sure you are not confusing current direction (horizontal movement) with the tide height itself (rising vs. falling water level).
