Now that Main Harbors.com is no longer going to cover Massachusetts; does anyone know a source of online current tables, especially for the Canal ?

Thanks, guys, but those sites show only tide, not currents.

I found this one that has both. When you click on it it opens to a one day prediction. Then scale down for monthly and other options.

they dropped the canal tides: the current changes, east and west, slack, high and low tides.

they still provide the high and low tides for all mass locations as far as i have seen.

Just pick up an Army corp of Eng Canal Tide book. Usually at a few B+Ts near canal. 1 in vehicle, 1 in home

The format on the site Mike P posted is the easiest to use for fishing.

Turns east , turns west , AM , PM ...what could be easier?
