The data set presents in-situ current flow measurements recorded with an upward looking acoustic Doppler profiler in the West Channel of Choctawhatchee Bay near Destin, FL (Lat: 30.3925°N, Long: -86.5233°W). The water depth within the channel ranges from 3 to 7 m and varies with the tide (diurnal tide, range ~0.5 m). The Doppler profiler was positioned near the middle of the channel at approximately 4 m water depth and recorded flow velocity and directions at 0.5 m vertical intervals from 0.7 m above the bottom to the water surface.
