About the tides at Port Renfrew
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.47 m, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. On a typical day the water moves about 1.50 m between high and low. That is smaller than most British Columbia stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.52 m, comes on Monday, and the smallest, 0.69 m, on October 17.
Port Renfrew is a CHS station with a live water level gauge. Predictions come from the station's own tidal analysis. It was established in 1968. The nearest other station is Neah Bay, 24 km away, where high tide comes about 7 min later. For tidal currents, see Strait of Juan de Fuca Entrance. 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.
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.
