# Current Strength Predictor AI Agent Connect

> Current Strength Predictor provides oceanographic data to help you understand how water moves near the coast. It calculates how swell direction, tides, and coastal shapes like reefs or headlands create specific current patterns, including dangerous rip currents and longshore flow speeds.

## Description

You can use this MCP to get a clear picture of what's happening under the surface before you head into the water. Instead of guessing how a swell will interact with a local reef, you can ask your AI client to calculate the exact movement of the water. It looks at the relationship between tide stages, swell direction, and the physical shape of the coastline to give you specific data on water speed and direction. You can pinpoint where rip currents are likely to form based on coastal features or determine how fast you'll be pulled parallel to the beach. It's a technical way to read the ocean by turning coastal geometry and swell data into actionable movement vectors.

## Tools

### analyze_coastal_influence
This tool examines how landmasses like headlands and reefs change the intensity of local currents.

### calculate_drift_vector
This tool finds the net movement of water by combining longshore and rip current data.

### locate_rip_currents
This tool identifies where rip currents are likely to form based on the specific coastal features present.

### predict_longshore_flow
This tool calculates the specific speed and direction of water moving parallel to the shoreline.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Where are the rip currents located if the swell is at 180 degrees and there is a reef with a gap at 190 degrees?
```

**Response:** 
```
The rip current is located at a bearing of 190 degrees with an intensity of 0.8.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How fast is the water moving parallel to the beach with a 150 degree swell, a 45 degree coastline, and high tide?
```

**Response:** 
```
The longshore current speed is 1.2 meters per second at a direction of 135 degrees.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the net movement if the longshore speed is 1.0 at 90 degrees and the rip speed is 0.5 at 180 degrees?
```

**Response:** 
```
The net drift speed is 1.12 meters per second at a direction of 105 degrees.
```

## Capabilities

### Rip Current Location
Your agent uses coastal feature data to find dangerous outgoing channels.

### Longshore Flow Prediction
Your AI client calculates the speed and direction of water moving along the beach.

### Net Drift Calculation
Your agent combines different current types to find the total water movement vector.

### Coastal Impact Analysis
Your AI client determines how reefs and headlands influence current strength.

## Use Cases

### Safety Planning
Identify where rip currents are likely to form before entering the water.

### Surf Spot Assessment
Determine how longshore flow will affect your position at a specific break.

### Drift Tracking
Calculate the net movement of water to understand where you will be pulled.

### Geographic Analysis
See how a specific reef or headland will change the local current intensity.

## Benefits

- Calculates water speed based on swell and tide data.
- Identifies rip current positions using coastal geometry.
- Combines multiple current types into a single drift vector.
- Analyzes how landmasses impact current strength.

## How It Works

You connect the MCP to your AI client and start asking about water movement.

1. Connect your MCP-compatible client to Vinkius.
2. Provide swell, tide, or coastal geometry data to your agent.
3. The agent uses the specific tools to run calculations.
4. Receive precise movement vectors and current locations.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What can this MCP predict?**
It predicts water movement, rip currents, and drift at surf breaks based on swell, tide, and coastal geometry.

**How do I use this with my AI?**
You connect your preferred MCP-compatible client like Claude or Cursor to Vinkius, and then you can ask your agent to use the tools directly.

**Does it account for coastal features?**
Yes, it uses coastal influence analysis to see how headlands and reefs affect current strength.

**Can it calculate net movement?**
Yes, it can calculate a drift vector by combining longshore and rip current data.

**What data do I need to provide?**
To get accurate results, you should provide details like swell direction, tide stages, and coastal features.
