About the tides at Prince Rupert

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.52 m. The tide range here is very large, about 3.96 m on average. Water can come in faster than you can walk across flats. Check the time before you go out. That is larger than most British Columbia stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on October 26, with a range of 6.66 m. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 2.48 m.

Prince Rupert is a CHS station with a live water level gauge. Predictions come from the station's own tidal analysis. It was established in 1906. The nearest other station is Seal Cove, 3.3 km away. For tidal currents, see Tuck Narrows, Prince Rupert Harbour. Canadian tide heights use chart datum, a level set low on purpose. Negative heights are uncommon.
