About the tides at Humpback Bay
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Humpback Bay, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The tide range here is very large, about 3.43 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 on October 27, with a range of 6.14 m. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 2.17 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 14 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.
