Definition
horizontal direction of the movement of the tidal current driven by astronomical tides at a given location
Definition source
Federal Maritime and Hydrographical Agency, Germany
Note
The tidal current direction is defined as “going to” in contrast to wind and wave direction.
Remark
In practice the direction is applied in textual form either by abbreviations of the geographic directions or in full text instead of being applied in nautical degree, i.e. degree relative to true north positive clockwise.
