About the tides at Lax Kw'alaams

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 3.77 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 November 23, with a range of 6.19 m. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 2.02 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 1961. The nearest other station is Trail Bay, 5.4 km away, where high tide comes about 10 min later. For tidal currents, see Portland Inlet, 2 miles S. of Wales Pt. Canadian tide heights use chart datum, a level set low on purpose. Negative heights are uncommon.
