As of today, peak season now, through ~October 31. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
The Horizontal Falls are a tidal phenomenon in the Buccaneer Archipelago where very large tides are squeezed through narrow rock gaps, producing dramatic horizontal 'waterfalls' and violent currents.
The strongest displays occur around spring tides when tidal amplitude is maximal and operators time boat or seaplane visits to the peak tidal window.
