Looks like the tide will be INCOMING, that is, AGAINST the swimmers, for Chesapeakeman's point-to-point swim. Race start time is an hour after low tide... right about when it starts coming in.
We better start swimming now, Nancy....
I may change my blog name to AGAINST THE TIDE.

There's some long discussion about this on the race forums on their website. I think it's a pretty weak tide, judging by the height. Hopefully it will just be good practice. Choppy waves would be worse!
