The tidal currents attain a velocity of 4.5 to 5 knots in the vicinity of Mys Vkhodnoy (54°53'N., 136°44'E.). The flood current that sets in a SW direction along the W side of Ostrov Feklistova meets the flood current that sets in a W direction along the S side of the island, causing tide rips and fairly conspicuous eddies, which are not as pronounced and are located closer to the shore during the ebb.
