 Currents are steady? I have to disagree. In coastal areas, the currents of
most concern are often tidal currents, as basins and inlets fill then
discharge with the rise and fall of the tide. Shinnecock Inlet, Jones Inlet,
the entire body of Long Island Sound, all are subject to Tidal Currents and
NOAA even published/es a Tidal Current chart set for mariners, so they can
figure out the local currents based on the state of the tide. Slack tide and
slack current usually do not coincide, either.

 Ocean currents may be steady--but not "currents" aren't exclusive to
bluewater sailors.
