Description détaillée
Navigate Northern Brittany's challenging waters with confidence
This professional-grade tidal current atlas delivers unparalleled precision for the Northern Coast of Brittany, covering the critical stretch from Les Héaux-de-Bréhat to Pointe de Pontusval. Published in 1999, this field-tested resource provides hourly surface current data for both spring and neap tides, giving maritime professionals the hydrodynamic intelligence needed to navigate safely and efficiently through one of France's most complex tidal zones.
Engineered for operational excellence
The atlas features 13 detailed current charts per sector, offering granular visualization of tidal patterns in high-traffic areas including the Sept-Îles archipelago, Lannion Bay, Morlaix Bay, and the approaches to Roscoff and Île de Batz. The Mercator projection ensures accurate spatial representation, while the dual spring/neap tide coverage allows for comprehensive operational planning across all tidal conditions. At 1 kg and measuring 30 x 21 cm, this paperback edition provides durable, weather-resistant access to critical data without reliance on digital devices.
Trusted by maritime professionals since 1999
Developed using advanced hydrodynamic modeling and bathymetric expertise, this atlas represents decades of maritime research and field validation. The unlimited validity of the data makes it a long-term investment for commercial shipping companies, fishing fleets, environmental consultants, and port authorities. While a digital version exists, the printed format remains preferred by many professionals for its reliability in all weather conditions and ease of use during operations, particularly in areas where electronic devices may be impractical or unreliable.
