Things I don't really understand:
- I think of Edmonds being near Alki and yet Max Ebb is an hour later at Edmonds than at Alki. Why?
- Is -.69 knots ebb current significant for a beach dive? Do ebb currents matter much more than flood currents?
- Is Sunday the 25th (a week from this Sunday, see below) likely to be an easier day because the tidal exchange in the mid-morning is 10 ft instead of 12 feet and it flooding instead of ebbing?

p.s. We're also very interested in viz reports this weekend, especially from Edmonds.
