About the tides at Port Nelson
Port Nelson has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The tide range here is very large, about 3.39 m on average. Water can come in faster than you can walk across flats. Check the time before you go out. The next spring tides peak on October 29, with a range of 4.74 m. Neap tides follow tomorrow, when the range shrinks to 1.90 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 1912. Canadian tide heights use chart datum, a level set low on purpose. Negative heights are uncommon.
Tide predictions and water levels from the Canadian Hydrographic Service. For planning only, not for navigation. Real water levels can differ because of wind, air pressure and river flow. Always check conditions on site.
