I'll do a little searching myself but I've always used the current data for Edmonds. They are only a thousand yards apart so I can't imagine it would be too different...

Slack before flood -10 minutes
Slack before ebb -1:32 minutes

They are quite different from the Underwater Park which are

Slack before flood +.44 minutes
Slack before ebb +13 minutes

These currents are referenced to Admiralty Inlet of course.

Avoid the oil dock on large exchanges until you have done it a couple times and have some experience with it. There can be a rough cross-current.

TLG,

If you're going to be at EUP tonight, look for us, we're going to be diving around 5:00.
