Navionics chart showing Tidal Current Station icon selected by cursor.

In this example, the tidal current is in flood but it's about to enter the

slack water stage. The current is flowing to the west at 0.1 mph.

Current Information screen.

The Tidal Current Information screen displays daily tidal current data
for the station at the present time. The graph at the top of the example
above is an approximate view of the flood and ebb pattern from
midnight (MN), to noon (NN) to midnight (MN). The velocity scale at
the top left side of the graph changes dynamically based upon the
maximum velocity of the current for that day.

Slack water, the period of little or no current, is represented by the
Slack Water Line (SWL). The flood appears above the SWL and the ebb
appears below the SWL.
