The water depths in the sea tidal flats are very variable, so that
the buoyage and the course of the fairway must be constantly
adjusted and may therefore deviate from the mapped position (see
also current reports at nvcharts.com or in the NV Charts app or
official announcements).
The tidal current sets on the outer side of the islands roughly
parallel to the coast at speeds of up to 1.5 knots. Much higher -
up to 3.5 kn - is the current speed in the sea tides. Here, the
tidal current sets in or out, depending on the tide.
In onshore winds, swells, and especially when the tide is running
out (current against wind), there is often a dangerous surf in the
sea straits that makes passage impossible.
During storms, a strong bottom sea can occur in some sea straits
with incoming and outgoing water.
Particularly at high water levels, the current often sets across
the course lines, both within the fairways and over the sands.
