Seymour Narrows is notable also because the flowing current can be sufficiently turbulent to realize a Reynolds number of about , i.e. one hundred million, which is possibly the largest Reynolds number regularly attained in natural water channels on Earth (the current speed is about 8 m/s, 26 ft/s, the nominal depth about 100 m, 330 ft).

Ripple Rock (French: Roche Ripple) [1] is an underwater mountain located in the Seymour Narrows of the Discovery Passage in British Columbia, Canada.It had two peaks (2.74 metres and 6.4 metres below the surface at low tide) that produced large, dangerous eddies from the strong tidal currents that flowed around them at low tide.
The strait has a length of 25 km (16 mi) and an average width of 2 km (1.2 mi), narrowing to only 750 m (820 yd) at Seymour Narrows.Most of the eastern shoreline of the passage is Quadra Island, with Sonora Island forming the shoreline at the northern end where Discovery Passage meets Johnstone Strait.
