About the tides at Portage Inlet

Most days here have a single high and a single low. Around neap tides the pattern can blur into small double tides. The average range is about 0.87 m. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most British Columbia stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on October 29, with a range of 1.31 m. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 0.56 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 1966. The nearest other station is Gorge at Craigflower, 0.8 km away, where high tide comes about 17 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Trial Island, 5.2 miles Ssw of. Canadian tide heights use chart datum, a level set low on purpose. Negative heights are uncommon.
