About the tides at Porpoise Channel East
Porpoise Channel East has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The tide range here is very large, about 3.81 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 6.29 m. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 2.08 m.
Porpoise Channel East is a CHS station with a live water level gauge. Predictions come from the station's own tidal analysis. It was established in 2013. The nearest other station is Aero Trading, 0.2 km away. For tidal currents, see Skeena River, Middle Passage. Canadian tide heights use chart datum, a level set low on purpose. Negative heights are uncommon.
