About the tides at Patricia Bay
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.42 m, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The range is large, about 1.56 m on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is smaller than most British Columbia stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on Wednesday, with a range of 2.57 m. Neap tides follow tomorrow, when the range shrinks to 1.00 m.
Patricia Bay is a CHS station with a live water level gauge. Predictions come from the station's own tidal analysis. It was established in 1976. The nearest other station is Sidney, 4.3 km away. For tidal currents, see Turn Point, Boundary Pass. Canadian tide heights use chart datum, a level set low on purpose. Negative heights are uncommon.
