In Seattle, I frequently used current tables, rather than tide tables, when planning a cruise. Water depth was seldom a concern, whereas water movement was pretty important.

I can't readily find current tables for the Chesapeake. Is that normal? Do people just estimate current based on tides? Or, any suggestions where to find current tables?
 
Lovely, thanks. I'd been to that website, but I hadn't figured out how to get a whole table, just Cove Pt. station. Thanks!
 
Hey, if your willing to shell out about $100 for Maptec's series on the Chesapeake, including the paper charts and the offshore navigator software, each Chesapeake chart (on the computer)comes with a "real time" set of tidal and current graphs you can use. It's great!!!!
 
The last update for the Offshore Navigator software from Maptech includes a complete set of tide and current tables for all of the US as a complimentary extra good for 2007 and 2008. Download the charts for free and then updtae the software.
 
Interesting! I have Offshore Navigator "Lite" that came with a chartkit -- wonder if it includes the same thing. Thanks for the tips.
