      I was looking at the Tidal currents around the island Hoedic in Northern France. The maximum shown on windy is. 0.5knt, but the currents around here are regularly around 3knts. Directions seems right but speed is questionable. Same on other points around the English channel were indicated speeds seem way too low.

        See more details about Tidal current:

        So, it is obvious that this layer cannot show local values of tidal currents speed such as around Hoedic or in the Morbihan gulf.
