Having no luck predicting current here with all the available references (Juan de Fuca current table, Race Passage Current table, Victoria tide table, Current Atlas, Tide View program, etc.), I've shown up at Enterprise Channel a few times near maximum flows (according to the Race Passage Current Table). This has been mostly out of frustrated spite, but so far, this seems to be when the current in Enterprise Channel is actually at slack. I don't want to get into any legal trouble by officially declaring that the current here is the opposite of the published tables, but this might be how I time my dives here from now on. Today (Sept. 13, 2010), I came for a dive just before the published maximum ebb (4 knots at Race Passage) and it was the calmest I've ever seen it here. I visited the plumose anemone canyon, saw a Puget Sound king crab and cruised along the colourful rubble bottom 50 feet deep. Visibility was about 20 feet. The current started picking up about halfway through the dive, just when the Race Passage tables were showing maximum ebb.
