Ebb & Flood describes a kayak trip planner that combines NOAA current and tide predictions with route-leg timing, starting in Washington waters.

- Kayakers planning trips in Washington tidal waters
- Worth noticing
- The page reports that 133 of 191 Washington current stations use NOAA predictions unchanged; its estimates were within 0.3 knots of NOAA full predictions in 97.3% of tests.
Field notes
The page distinguishes stations that use NOAA predictions unchanged from those where the project estimates speeds between NOAA's slack and maximum times. It reports testing those estimates against NOAA full predictions, with 97.3% within 0.3 knots, and cautions that wind, runoff, and air pressure can change real conditions. The mobile apps are described as forthcoming, so the evidence supports the planning concept and its stated method, not present-day app availability.
