Master the Tides with the Definitive Tidal Current Atlas for the Bay of Fundy and Gulf of Maine
When seconds count and currents shift in an instant, this tidal current atlas becomes your most trusted ally. Covering the Bay of Fundy—where tides reach a staggering 16 meters—and the broader Gulf of Maine, this 36-chart atlas provides hourly snapshots of surface current speed and direction, transforming raw tidal data into clear, actionable intelligence for maritime professionals.
Engineered for Real-World Navigation Challenges
Developed by leading hydrodynamic experts, this atlas leverages a refined mathematical model to deliver unparalleled accuracy. Each chart visualizes the semi-diurnal lunar tide regime with precision, using directional arrows to indicate flow patterns and velocity. Whether navigating congested shipping lanes, avoiding hazardous eddies, or optimizing fuel efficiency, this tool ensures you stay ahead of the tide—literally.
Built for the Demands of Commercial Maritime Operations
Designed with input from ship captains, marine pilots, and offshore operators, this atlas is more than a reference—it’s a mission-critical resource. Its bilingual format (English/French) accommodates international crews, while its durable print edition withstands the harshest onboard conditions. At just 2 kg and with dimensions of 11.00 x 8.75 x 1.00 inches, it’s compact enough for the wheelhouse yet comprehensive enough to cover the entire region, from the Bay of Fundy to Georges Bank.
