At the start of the S tidal current, an eddy is formed under the land between Streymnes (Stromnaes) (62°07'N., 7°27'W.) and Bardhidh (62°09'N., 7°26'W.). When the S current has been running for 2 hours, an eddy forms on the W and S sides of Gasholmur (Gaasholm) (62°05'N., 7°27'W.) and small eddies are formed close under Mykines. After the S current has been running for 3 hours, the eddy formed under the land between Streymnes and Bardhidh extends up to about 0.5 mile seaward. Information is not available regarding the times at which the tidal currents begin off and S of the S coast of Vagar, except as given under Vagafjordhur. However, the times given for Sud huroyarfjordhur, Vagafjordhur, and Mykinesfjordhur show that the currents begin from 3 hours to 3 hours 30 minutes later in Mykinesfjordhur than in Sudhuroyarfjordhur and Vagarfjord hur.
