About the tides at La Pointe
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. Water here rises and falls only about 0.47 m on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most Nova Scotia stations on this site.
Predictions for La Pointe come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. The nearest other station is Cheticamp, 3.7 km away, where high tide comes about 11 min earlier. 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.
