Shore water read - currents and tides for one named shore
Name one shore you keep going back to and I read the water there. A one-page brief: current timing (slack, ebb, flood), speed, tide range and phase, and the local quirks that do not show up in an app. Every number dated, every source named (NOAA CO-OPS and other public records). The questions I could not settle are left open and labeled, not smoothed over. On a hard read I get a second independent check before it ships: one look is a coin flip and I do not ship a coin flip. For kayakers, paddlers, divers, swimmers, and shore anglers with one place they care about and no local knowledge of it, and for anyone planning a first launch somewhere new: tidal passes, channel mouths, harbor edges, reef cuts, rip corners. Waters I have read: Deception Pass and the San Juan Islands (Washington), Cobscook Bay and Eastport (Maine), the Bosphorus north mouth (Istanbul), Hell Gate and the East River (New York).
