English term or phrase: rate
Weer zo'n fijne! Context:

A common mistake (even for the experts!) is to refer to the tide speed as drift, when the correct term is rate.

In het hele document heb ik 'rate' dus vertaald met 'snelheid'.

Welke zeilenthousiast kan me vertellen hoe 'rate' in het Nederlands genoemd wordt (moet het überhaupt vertaald worden?).

stroomsnelheid
Explanation:
De gemiddelde stroomsnelheid van de Rijn varieert in Nederland van 0,5 tot 1,5 m/s.
http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroomsnelheid

Stroomsnelheid (voor dood- en springtij)
http://www.yachtcontrol.nl/site/yachtcontrol-lite-software/y...

The tidal rate is the average spring speed for the tidal stream.

The tidal streams in this area are very strong, and noticeable even on a small neap tide

I believe 'tidal drift' is reserved for movement of sediment of verplaatsingen due to currents. Vertalingn van rate met snelheid is dus op zich wel goed.
