Description détaillée
Master the Tides of the Pacific Northwest with Unrivaled Precision
This tidal current atlas is the definitive navigation tool for the waters between Juan de Fuca Strait and Strait of Georgia—a region where tidal currents can shift from calm to treacherous in minutes. Designed for commercial mariners, shipping fleets, and professional navigators, it provides hourly visualizations of surface current speed and direction, allowing you to anticipate eddies, avoid hazardous flows, and optimize routes for fuel efficiency and safety. With 212 pages of detailed charts, this printed volume is the only resource that combines real-time tidal data with the Fraser River’s powerful discharge effects, making it indispensable for operations in one of North America’s busiest maritime corridors.
Engineered for High-Stakes Decision-Making
Unlike generic tide tables, this atlas breaks down tidal behavior into three critical sections: Part A delivers current charts for typical tidal ranges, Part B extends coverage to 25-hour cycles for long-haul planning, and Part C focuses on the Fraser River’s surface flows—where currents can exceed 6 knots. The bilingual (English/French) format ensures clarity for international crews, while variable cartographic scales provide precision in both open waters and narrow passages. Weighing just 2 kg, this printed edition is built for onboard use, with durable pages that withstand saltwater and frequent handling.
Trusted by Industry Leaders for Over Two Decades
Since its 2003 second edition, this atlas has been the go-to reference for pilots, shipping companies, and regulatory agencies navigating the Pacific Northwest. It must be paired with the annual *Canadian Tide and Current Tables, Volume 5* to synchronize tidal predictions, ensuring your data is always up-to-date. Whether you’re managing cargo routes, planning cruise itineraries, or competing in high-stakes races, this tool eliminates guesswork—transforming complex tidal dynamics into clear, actionable intelligence for safer, smarter navigation.
This printed tidal current atlas spans 212 pages, offering bilingual (English/French) hourly charts of surface currents between Juan de Fuca Strait and Strait of Georgia. It includes three key sections: 14 pages of tidal current charts for typical ranges, 100 pages for 25-hour cycles, and 9 pages analyzing Fraser River surface flows. The 2 kg volume features variable cartographic scales and must be used alongside the annual *Canadian Tide and Current Tables, Volume 5* for accurate predictions.
For over a century, this organization has set the standard for hydrographic data in North America, providing mariners with the most accurate and reliable navigation tools.
