In Kalsoyarfjordhur (Kallsoyarfjordhur) (62°18'N., 6°42'W.) and abreast the village of Husar (62°16'N., 6°41'W.), the N tidal current begins about 4 hours 45 minutes before HW at Trongisvagur. The S tidal current begins about 45 minutes after HW at Trongisvagur. In the N part of the fjord, the N tidal current begins about 1 hour later, and the S current 1 hour earlier, than in the S part. In the S part of the fjord, the N tidal current is stronger than the S tidal current. At the start of the N current, a wide eddy forms under Bordhoy (62°16'N., 6°30'W.) between Klakssteinur (Klaksten) (62°14'N., 6°36'W.) and Halgafelli (Fagrelid) (62°13'N., 6°37'W.), 1.3 miles S. After this current has been running for 1 hour, an eddy is formed between Bordhoyarnes (62°10'N., 6°32'W.) and Ritugjogv (Ritugjov) (62°12'N., 6°35'W.), 2 miles NNW. At the same time, another eddy is formed S of Halgafelli. After the current has been running for 3 hours, a considerable eddy forms on the SW side of the entrance be tween Mjovanes (62°08'N., 6°35'W.) and Gotunes (Gotenaes) (62°11'N., 6°37'W.), 3.5 miles NNW. This eddy extends along the N shore and halfway to Gotuvik (62°10'N., 6°41'W.). It then turns S and runs E along the S shore of Gotunes, between Seggjatangsbue and Mjovanes. At the same time, a consid erable eddy forms under Kalsoy between the villages of Husar and Sydhradalur (Sydhradalar) (62°15'N., 6°40'W.).
