Chapter 9: Using tides and currents 75
9.3 Currents
Current flow data is a prediction for maximum and minimum current flow
over a 24 hour period for a selected station. Data for sunrise, sunset and
moon phase is also provided.
When using current information the default is always the last selected
station. As long as there is a valid GPS time/date signal being received by
RayTech, the graph will automatically default to show today’s currents. If
there is no valid signal the graph will default to an earlier date.
