What will the velocity and direction of the tidal current be at Port Morris, NY, at 1135 DST (ZD +4) on 13 May 1983?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option A — negligible at 220°T
When current speeds approach zero near slack water, velocity is deemed negligible while the directional set is derived directly from the flood or ebb orientation listed in the secondary station directory of the NOS Tidal Current Tables.
