In Vestmannasund (62°08'N., 7°10'W.), the NW tidal current begins, throughout its length, about 4 hours 15 minutes before HW at Trongisvagur. The SE tidal current begins, in the S part of the sound, about 2 hours after HW at Trongisvagur, and, in the NW part of the sound, about 3 hours after HW at Trongisvagur. Eddies form under the land extending between Skaelingur (62°06'N., 7°00'W.) and Dalsnipen at the start of the NW current. Eddies are also formed at this time close under the land extending between Tvillingsgjogv (Tvillingsgjov) (62°06'N., 7°06'W.) and Slaettanes (62°09'N., 7°14'W.). After the current has been running for 1 hour, an eddy forms under Egilsnes (Egilsnaes) (62°08'N., 7°10'W.) and gradually extends SE. Another eddy forms under Vatakatlar (62°09'N., 7°12'W.) at the same time.
