About the tides at Saint-Nicolas
Saint-Nicolas has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. Saint-Nicolas sees a mean range of about 3.57 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, 4.28 m, comes on Monday, and the smallest, 2.62 m, on October 17.
Predictions for Saint-Nicolas come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. It was established in 1915. The nearest other station is Pont de Québec, 7.9 km away, where high tide comes about 15 min earlier. 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.
