Navigate Southern Brittany’s Tidal Waters with Unmatched Precision
This digital tidal current atlas is the definitive resource for professionals operating along the Southern Brittany coast, from Audierne to Le Croisic. Engineered for commercial shipping, fishing fleets, and environmental agencies, it provides hourly surface current data across four high-traffic sectors: Penmarc’h, Groix-Lorient, Quiberon Bay, and the Gulf of Morbihan. With 12 detailed maps per sector, covering both spring and neap tides, this tool ensures safer, faster, and more efficient maritime operations in one of France’s most dynamic coastal regions.
Built on Advanced Hydrodynamic Modeling
Leveraging cutting-edge hydrodynamic simulations, this atlas integrates tidal patterns, bathymetric data, and coastal geography to deliver unparalleled accuracy. The Mercator projection guarantees geospatial precision, making it ideal for route optimization, port planning, and environmental impact assessments. Whether navigating narrow channels or open waters, users gain real-time insights into current behavior, reducing risks and operational costs.
Optimized for Professional Workflows
Designed for merchant mariners, port authorities, and offshore industries, this digital atlas is licensed for use on up to 5 workstations, ensuring accessibility for vessel crews and shore-based teams. Delivered as a PDF via secure download link, it offers instant access with free updates for one year, maintaining data relevance in evolving maritime conditions. Its unlimited validity ensures long-term utility, making it a cost-effective investment for any professional operation.
This digital tidal current atlas covers the Southern Brittany coast from Audierne to Le Croisic, featuring 48 high-resolution maps (12 per sector) detailing surface currents at hourly intervals. Based on semi-diurnal tidal cycles, it includes data for both spring and neap tides, with a Mercator projection for geospatial accuracy. Delivered in PDF format, it supports use on 5 workstations and includes free updates for one year.
With over 300 years of expertise in hydrography and oceanography, this organization is the official authority for maritime data in France. Specializing in tidal modeling, bathymetric surveys, and navigational safety, it provides critical resources for commercial shipping, defense, and environmental management worldwide.
The maps cover the southern coast of Brittany, including four sectors: Penmarc’h, Groix-Lorient, Quiberon Bay, and the Gulf of Morbihan, spanning from Audierne to Le Croisic.
Each sector includes twelve maps illustrating surface currents at hourly intervals over a typical semi-diurnal tidal cycle.
The data is based on hydrodynamic models that incorporate tides, currents, and bathymetry for precise and reliable tidal current predictions.
The PDF can be accessed on up to five different computer workstations, but it is not optimized for mobile devices or tablets.
Free updates are provided for one year from the date of purchase.
The maps use the Mercator projection, a standard for nautical charts and tidal current representations.
Currently, the maps and accompanying documentation are only available in French.
