About the tides at Port-Cartier
Port-Cartier has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. With a mean range of about 1.95 m, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.83 m, comes on Sunday, and the smallest, 1.11 m, on October 19.
Predictions for Port-Cartier come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. It was established in 1961. The nearest other station is Sept-Îles, 34 km away. Heights are measured from chart datum, which in most Canadian tidal waters is set near the lowest normal tide. That is why lows here rarely go below zero.
