Tidal Current Atlas: Pays de la Loire Region

Publication in French
Printed version

Precision Navigation for Atlantic Coastal Waters

Navigate the dynamic tidal currents of the Pays de la Loire region with unmatched accuracy. This tidal current atlas delivers detailed, hour-by-hour visualizations of tidal flows, covering the critical stretch from the Quiberon Peninsula to the Île d'Yeu. Designed for professionals and enthusiasts alike, it provides essential data for safe and efficient maritime operations in one of France’s most active coastal zones.

Advanced Hydrodynamic Modeling for Reliable Data

Built on cutting-edge, high-resolution hydrodynamic modeling, this atlas offers superior accuracy compared to previous editions. The 2015 update refines current predictions, particularly in the complex estuary of the Loire, where tidal patterns demand precise navigation. Each map represents surface-level 2D currents at one-hour intervals, capturing both spring and neap tides to ensure comprehensive coverage of tidal variations.

Engineered for Maritime Professionals

This atlas is an indispensable tool for commercial shipping, port authorities, and environmental planners. Whether managing vessel traffic in the Loire estuary, assessing tidal impacts on port infrastructure, or planning offshore operations, the data ensures informed decision-making. Its Mercator projection maintains geographic accuracy, while the 210 x 290 mm format balances portability with readability for on-board use.

Versatile Applications for Coastal Activities

  • Commercial and Recreational Navigation: Optimize routes and fuel efficiency by anticipating tidal currents in real time.
  • Environmental and Engineering Studies: Support projects like wastewater discharge planning or coastal development with reliable tidal data.
  • Fishing and Aquaculture: Identify optimal zones and times for operations based on current patterns.
  • Search and Rescue Operations: Enhance safety by predicting drift trajectories in high-risk areas.
