About the tides at Port Alberni

Port Alberni has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The range is large, about 1.92 m on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 3.64 m. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 0.92 m.

Port Alberni is a CHS station with a live water level gauge. Predictions come from the station's own tidal analysis. It was established in 1970. The nearest other station is Franklin River, 13 km away. Canadian tide heights use chart datum, a level set low on purpose. Negative heights are uncommon.
