About the tides at Humpback Bay
This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The tide range here is very large, about 3.57 m on average. Water can come in faster than you can walk across flats. Check the time before you go out. That is larger than most British Columbia stations on this site. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 5.56 m. Neap tides follow on Friday, when the range shrinks to 3.32 m.
This is a prediction station. CHS calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. The nearest other station is Hunt Inlet, 3.9 km away, where high tide comes about 13 min later. For tidal currents, see Skeena River, Middle Passage. Canadian tide heights use chart datum, a level set low on purpose. Negative heights are uncommon.
