It is springs, two hours after high water. What is the tidal stream at diamond B doing?
On the left, a chart with a magenta diamond containing the letter B. On the right, the tidal stream table for diamond B, with rates in knots. 1 hour after high water: direction 240°, springs 1.6, neaps 0.8. 2 hours after: 245°, springs 2.4, neaps 1.2. 3 hours after: 250°, springs 2.0, neaps 1.0. 4 hours after: 255°, springs 1.2, neaps 0.6.
Show the answer
Flowing towards 245° at 2.4 knots. The direction given for a tidal stream is where the water is going to (the opposite of wind, which is named by where it comes from). At springs use the spring rate: 2.4 knots.
