About the tides at Alert Bay

Alert Bay has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. With a mean range of about 2.60 m, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water.

Predictions for Alert Bay come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. It was established in 1947. The nearest other station is Port McNeill, 12 km away, where high tide comes about 5 min earlier. Heights are measured from chart datum, which in most Canadian tidal waters is set near the lowest normal tide. That is why lows here rarely go below zero.
