About the tides at Saint-François I.O.

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.56 m. Saint-François I.O. sees a mean range of about 4.40 m. Low tide can expose a wide area, and the return is fast. That is larger than most Quebec stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 5.58 m, comes today, and the smallest, 3.23 m, on Sunday.

Saint-François I.O. is a CHS station with a live water level gauge. Predictions come from the station's own tidal analysis. It was established in 1929. The nearest other station is Berthier-sur-Mer, 8.6 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.
