Variations in the strength of that current will also vary the time when the stream reverses, thus altering the time and duration of slack water. In many locations, in addition to the tidal streams there is also a current causing the tidal stream in the one direction to be stronger than, and last for longer than the stream in the opposite direction six hours later. Difficult channels are also more safely navigated during slack water, as any flow may set a vessel out of a channel into danger.Д¬ombined tidal stream and current In areas with potentially dangerous tides and currents, it is standard practice for divers to plan a dive at slack times.ДЇor any vessel, a favourable flow will improve the vessel's speed over the bottom for a given speed in the water. Following low tide, visibility can be reduced as the ebb draws silt, mud, and other particulates with it. Slack water following high tide can improve underwater visibility, as the previously incoming tide brings clear water with it. ДЇor scuba divers, the absence of a flow means that less effort is required to swim and there is less likelihood of drifting away from a vessel or shore. Since the level of the basin is always at mean sea level, the flood in the mouth starts at half tide, and its velocity is at its greatest at the time of high water, with the strongest ebb occurring conversely at low water. In 1884, Thornton Lecky illustrated the phenomenon with an inland basin of infinite size, connected to the sea by a narrow mouth. Similarly, the flood may run for up to three hours after the water has started to fall. The time of slack water, particularly in constricted waters, does not occur at high and low water, and in certain areas, such as Primera Angostura, the ebb may run for up to three hours after the water level has started to rise. Slack water can be estimated using a tidal atlas or the tidal diamond information on a nautical chart. Slack water is a short period in a body of tidal water when the water is completely unstressed, and there is no movement either way in the tidal stream, and which occurs before the direction of the tidal stream reverses.

Wikipedia describes it thus, вЂ Slack water, which used to be known as вЂthe stand of the tideвЂ, is a short period in a body of tidal water when the water is completely unstressed, and there is no movement either way in the tidal stream. And the waves did their thing where they unroll like an escaped paper towel along the sandвЂ™s length.ДЄpparently this pause is known as a slack tide. And just as quickly as the sound had stopped it began again as the tide began its inexorable outward journey. Reverentially we held our breaths for a short time. It was like the world stopped so immense was the silence. The water was fairly calm but there must have been a sound of lapping, for suddenly all was silent. Instead we walked around to where the sea was filling up the estuary. It was difficult to tell that morning and we did change direction not wanting to have to climb over high rocks to get back if we got stuck.

We should change direction.вЂ™ And so on etc. вЂI think itвЂ™s still coming inвЂ¦.but look see hereвЂ™ and the other replies вЂWell itвЂ™s right up to the bank over there. We discussed the tideвЂ¦you know the sort of thing. My original inspiration for the poem and more about slack tides. Be kind to yourselves вЂ¦and kind to each other. So as we all enter 2021, I wish everyone hope, peace, wellness. ItвЂ™s hard to do that of course, when one is feeling overloaded. Sometimes the overwhelm is too much isnвЂ™t it? And it seems like we are powerless but we do have the power to take a few moments to stop and breathe. It seemed like a good image to hold to in this coming new year. In mid January 2016 I posted a piece about slack tides.
