About the tides at Kimmirut
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.28 m. The tide range here is very large, about 7.26 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 Nunavut stations on this site. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 10.12 m. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 4.93 m.
This is a prediction station. CHS calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. It was established in 1960. The nearest other station is Ashe Inlet, 49 km away. Canadian tide heights use chart datum, a level set low on purpose. Negative heights are uncommon.
