Burhou chart puzzle

[Gunfleet]

It's obvious that some posters are expert on the channel islands (eg Robin), so I'm hoping for an answer to a puzzle I've found on the chart for Burhou - what does 'on the SW stream' mean written under Burhou on the chart?

Sorry I don't have a chart at home, but I would guess it is 'overfalls' in the Swinge Channel on the SW tide.

Not really an expert, just been there many times over many years. I remember a quote in the front of one of the pilots I read years ago, about I think a local pilot or maybe Lifeboat Cox, went something like " I passed that rock every day for 18 years before I hit it" Now he WAS an expert.

I think there's a couple of posters who live on Alderney who would know.
