About the tides at Pointe-au-Père
Pointe-au-Père has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The range is large, about 2.62 m on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is larger than most Quebec stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on October 11, with a range of 3.83 m. Neap tides follow on Tuesday, when the range shrinks to 1.93 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 1894. The nearest other station is Rimouski, 5.4 km away. Canadian tide heights use chart datum, a level set low on purpose. Negative heights are uncommon.
