Yup, I've had my lure go west with the current one cast and then go east on the next cast. It can get weird, especially with eels.

That's when the east is overpowering the west right in front of you. It never really goes slack.

When it's really flat down there, you can see the wave roll up the canal created by one tide pushing back the other.

Good info here. Nice thread. I would like to add that I always catch more fish after a quick kneel and Hail Mary right before my first cast. I think one of the apostles, either Peter, Paul and Mary were fisherman,
