The wind at Frying Pan shoals has been northwesterly at an average velocity of 22 mph. The predicted set and drift of the rotary current are 125° at 0.6 knot. What current should you expect?

Correct Answer: Option A — 119° at 0.9 knot

Resolving the resultant current at Frying Pan Shoals involves extracting wind-driven current corrections based on sustained wind velocity and superimposing them onto the predicted rotary tidal current vector.
