About the tides at Refuge Bay
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.53 m. Refuge Bay sees a mean range of about 3.85 m. Low tide can expose a wide area, and the return is fast. That is larger than most British Columbia stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 5.75 m, comes on October 10, and the smallest, 3.69 m, on Sunday.
Predictions for Refuge Bay come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. It was established in 1964. The nearest other station is Welcome Harbour, 6.4 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.
