Back up date is 8/11.

Serious planning is beginning for the trip previously discussed on the general message board. Send me an email or post here if you are interested in a LONG day on the water. Final details will be shared off line.

Here is what I got for the tide table for Wed, Aug 10th for Monomoy Point:

High Low

Wed 10 3:53 AM EDT / 3.71 ft 9:56 AM EDT / 0.28 ft

High Low

4:16 PM EDT/3.71 ft 10:20 PM EDT / 0.40 ft

I recall that the tide floods east (very counterintuitive, since you'd expect the opposite, but the domininant flood comes through the gaps between Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard, and Martha's Vineyard and the Elizabeth Islands). Likewise it ebbs west.

That would suggest that the peak flow to the west occurs roughly between 6 and 9 AM, peak flow to the east between 11 And 3, and peak flow again to the west between 5:30 and 9 PM

I wish I could be there on the 10th.

According to Eldridge Tide & Pilot, peak easterly flow past Monomoy Point is two hours after low water at Boston. I'd expect to see the maximum rip (over 2 knots) between 11am and noon.

Enjoy the cruise...
