About the tides at Cape Kater
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.22 m, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. On a typical day the water moves about 0.94 m between high and low. That is smaller than most Nunavut stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.60 m, comes on October 13, and the smallest, 0.84 m, on October 8.
Predictions for Cape Kater come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. It was established in 1984. 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.
Tide predictions and water levels from the Canadian Hydrographic Service. For planning only, not for navigation. Real water levels can differ because of wind, air pressure and river flow. Always check conditions on site.
