About the tides at Finnerty Cove
Finnerty Cove has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. On a typical day the water moves about 1.31 m between high and low. That is smaller than most British Columbia stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.44 m, comes tomorrow, and the smallest, 0.41 m, on October 12.
Predictions for Finnerty Cove come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. The nearest other station is Oak Bay, 5.6 km away, where high tide comes about 22 min earlier. For tidal currents, see South Haro Strait, south of Lime Kiln Light. 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.
