Slack Tide Q...
Ok... I know this is a basic question for most of you (and we kind of covered this a long time ago) but...
How long does the slack tide last?
And... Is there a place online I can get current info to go along with tide tables?
Thanks,
Rob

Too long...
Check this site. It may not answer your question on the duration of slack, but it will let you know when it is.
http://www.wunderground.com/MAR/AN/237.html
I usually fish the Newburyport, MA to Portsmouth, NH areas and the current info seemed to be accurate on the time of slack and peak current for that area. This link is based on Westerly, RI.
Now if I could only find a website that will tell me that it's going to be 50 degrees with light southwest winds this weekend.

Get the Eldridge Tide and Pilot Book, it has all the info about tide and current. It has all the tides for the year, I don't know if the 2003 version is out yet.

Theorectically, I would think slack tide lasts about 1 sec. The question I would ask is 1) How long does it take for the tide to 'kick' in in the other direction, noticably. Bloo answered that I think. When does the tide run the strongest? Two hours after slack low? Two hours before the high?... I don't know? Depends on location perhaps... And also, how much does wind come into play? It's not easy to judge current direction when wind is opposing the current due to wind drag on line.

1 sec makes sense......some places will seem like it takes forever and others turn quick....strength of current must play a factor.
