About the tides at Bécancour

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.16 m, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. Water here rises and falls only about 0.34 m on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most Quebec stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 0.50 m, comes on October 14, and the smallest, 0.35 m, on Monday.

Bécancour is a CHS station with a live water level gauge. Predictions come from the station's own tidal analysis. It was established in 1985. The nearest other station is Champlain, 5.4 km away, where high tide comes about 9 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.
