Slack water at La Conner Landing occurs between 2 and 3.5 hours after high or low water. The current flows north for 2 to 3.5 hours before high water until 2 to 3.5 hours after high water; it flows south for 2 to 3.5 hours before low water until 2 to 3.5 hours after low water. When the tide change is less than 2 feet, one can expect an accordingly small amount of current. When running during low tides in the southern part of the Swinomish Channel, boaters should favor the east side of the channel from the southernmost house in the Shelter Bay Community to the entrance of Shelter Bay itself La Conner Marina
