Figure 5-14a. Mattituck Inlet natural state, near-maximum offshore spring flood-
tide velocity, 1200 on 7 October 2002
Figure 5-14b. Mattituck Inlet natural state, near-maximum offshore spring flood-
tide velocity, 1200 on 7 October 2002
Figure 5-14c illustrates calculated current velocities at 1230 GMT on
7 October 2002. The offshore flood current velocities remain near peak, and the
inlet has begun to flood. Current velocities at 1430 GMT on 7 October 2002 are
illustrated in Figure 4-14d. This is the point of maximum flood current velocity
at the mouth of the inlet, while the offshore remains in a flood portion of the tidal
cycle.
