    Current Flow at Pier

    Having only fished the area a few times. While on the pier how does the current normally flow? East to West or West to East,..standing on Octi facing the ocean, left to right or right to left.

    Whichever way the wind has been blowing for the previous few days.
    There hasn't been much current to speak of lately, but the predominate wind has been from the west.
    That would be from right to left, standing on the octi facing seaward...

    Usually it flows left to right, unless its the other way, or not moving at all.
