In you question, you are confusing tide with current This does not mean that the waters in a given area does not move Many areas do not give a slack water period, but you try to find the closest station to these points, and make slight adjustments.
I know this sounds confusing, but the only place to find this are tidal reference tables. Slack after high. Hi Logic, I'll give you my experiences for the times for slack after high.
Under normal conditions in Stony Brook harbor I find slack after high to occur about 45 minutes after the posted high tide time. In FI inlet I typically expect the high slack water to occur about 2 and a half hours after high tide. This is all variable depending on many conditions.
I find wind to be the main factor though. Say you have wind with the incoming current in a particular inlet, the current may continue to flood much longer and the slack will last much longer as well, as the current has to fight against the wind to turn.
On the other hand, wind against an incoming current may cause slack to occur prematurely and it will be very brief. Like most have said, the key is to know the typical conditions for the area s you fish and then know how to apply the weather conditions to the area so you know what to expect when you get there.
I'll see you out in FI this fall. I have been after Nerd for a few months to post the current charts see "current charts" in the Website forum but haven't received any update on how it's going. Guys - think we're over thinking this one.
Generally 40 minutes to an hour after the incoming or the outgoing for that matter comes to a halt the water begins to move in the other direction. May not be exact - but probably close enough. NEWELL MAN, am I correct in assuming, on a very basic level, that slack tide has a direct relationship between water reaching its tidal height in one place, and then "waiting" for the water to reach its tidal height in another place?

How long after "high tide" does the tide begin to ebb?
Gravity pulls the ocean towards the moon and high tide occurs. The bulge on the far side of the Earth is caused by inertia. The water moving away from the moon resists the gravitational forces that attempt to pull it in the opposite direction. Because the gravitational pull of the moon is weaker on the far side of the Earth, inertia wins, the ocean bulges out and high tide occurs. As the Earth spins, different areas of the planet face the moon, and this rotation causes the tides to cycle around the planet.
NOS scientists advanced tidal recording systems as well as satellite imagery to monitor tides and water levels. These data are used to predict ocean behavior in order to protect our coasts and coastal communities.
You will need to print this page. At most places on earth, there are two high tides each day. With each passing day, the high tides occur about an hour later.
The moon rises about an hour later each day, too actually, 54 minutes later. Since the moon pulls up the tides, these two delays are connected. As the earth rotates through one day, the moon moves in its orbit. A point on the earth must move a little farther than one rotation to line up with the moon again.
