Hi Doug, Sorry about the flooded basement--not enough water flow to stimulate you? ;) I looked at the online Tide/Current Predictor, which isn't gospel, but it's fairly accurate--it actually said that currents at Deception Pass are pretty strong not only during the solstice, but also for the 3 or 4 days surrounding it. http://tbone.biol.sc.edu/tide/tideshow.cgi?site=Deception+Pass%2C+Washington+Current Here are the stronger ones I saw: 12-21 16:54 PST -7.96 knots Max Ebb 12-21 23:28 PST 7.10 knots Max Flood 12-22 5:41 PST -7.20 knots Max Ebb 12-22 17:41 PST -8.10 knots Max Ebb 12-23 0:16 PST 7.34 knots Max Flood 12-23 6:31 PST -7.40 knots Max Ebb 12-23 18:29 PST -8.11 knots Max Ebb 12-24 1:03 PST 7.42 knots Max Flood 12-24 7:20 PST -7.49 knots Max Ebb 12-24 19:17 PST -7.99 knots Max Ebb 12-25 1:51 PST 7.35 knots Max Flood Better get out there! I'm envious that you have the skills to go out and play in such fierce currents-- maybe someday... <sigh> Merry Christmas, Shawn (and if you go out into that 7.35 kt Flood on Christmas Day and get in trouble with the better half, don't blame it on me!) >Not sure what Deception Pass was running at. >Did anyone get out in some strong rips?
