🔍 Key Concepts

• Tidal current station vs. reference station in the Tidal Current Tables • How to use a current diagram (rotary current table or graphic) for Lewis Point, RI • Time conversion using ZD +5 and checking the right tidal cycle (flood vs. ebb)

💭 Think About

• First, identify whether Lewis Pt., RI is a primary (reference) station or a subordinate station, and determine where to get its current information in the Tidal Current Tables. • Convert 1501 EST (ZD +5) to the time format used in the tables and locate the closest tabulated times around 1501. • Decide whether you need to interpolate between two times, and think about how the current speed is changing around that time (increasing or decreasing).

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm you are looking at the correct date and year (4 April 1983) and not another day or cycle. • Verify you are using the data for the correct location (Lewis Pt., RI, and specifically 1.0 mile SW of it, not at the reference station itself if they differ). • Check whether the table or diagram shows maximums and slack only, or gives speeds at regular intervals, and be sure your chosen speed fits the trend between those points.
