Q

What is the average velocity of the maximum flood current at the Tail of the Horseshoe?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Use of the Tidal Current Tables for specific locations • Difference between maximum flood and maximum ebb currents • Reading the velocity column correctly for a given reference or subordinate station

💭 Think About

• Is the Tail of the Horseshoe listed as a reference station or a subordinate station, and how does that affect how you read the table? • When you look up "maximum flood" for that location, what time and velocity are shown, and are there any adjustments needed? • Among the choices given, which value most closely matches the published average maximum flood velocity for that named location in the tables?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm you are on the correct location name (Tail of the Horseshoe) and not a nearby station with a similar name • Verify you are looking at the flood column, not the ebb column • Double‑check the units (knots) and whether the table value is an average maximum before matching it to the closest choice
