Ive seen it, Its strange but I also spent a day where I headed out west to go for hali and was supposed to have 2.5 hours of ebb before the switch to the flood and when I got there it was already slack and flooding withing 20 minutes of dropping the pick.
Strange!

I interpret it as the tide tables tell you the height of the water and not much more... the current table tell you the direction of the currents (Flood and Ebb) , between current changes is when you get your "slake tide" or "tide change" as every one calls it.. I always here on the Radio guys asking when is tide change and usually some one replies and they always get it wrong cause their looking at the tide tables... you want to look at the current tables... I only look at the tide table twice a year ! Once in the spring when we launch our boat to know the tide/water height for the ramp and in October when we pull the boat out... that is all I use the tide tables for..

Profisher understands it, good post...
C/P "Tide and current are 2 different things. If you fish Sheringham at all you will notice that often the current is still ebbing hard and yet with each pass of the reef the rock disappears and the seals have no place to lay. The water will rise even thou the current hasn't stopped ebbing and made its turn to flood. Call it lag time if you want. "
