Model – Key facts
Tidetech is excited to again release their state of art finite element hydrodynamic tidal currents model for the Whitsundays just in time for the Airlie Beach and Hamilton Island Race weeks 2023.
It’s time to take the guesswork out of the complex Whitsundays tides and gain local knowledge without being a local. Get a race-winning advantage allowing you to make the most informed strategic, tactical decisions with data you can trust from Tidetech.
Our model features an unprecedented high resolution of approximately 200metres. This fine resolution can highlight critical tidal current features such as back eddies off headlands.
This model features a short time step of just 30 minutes allowing you to see changes in current direction and strength across the tidal cycle.
