About the tides at Samuel Island
Samuel Island has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The range is large, about 1.59 m on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is smaller than most British Columbia stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on Saturday, with a range of 2.70 m. Neap tides follow on October 11, when the range shrinks to 1.00 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 1961. The nearest other station is Samuel Island, chs-07515, 0.8 km away, where high tide comes about 33 min later. For tidal currents, see Strait of Georgia, 4.5 nm SW of Point Roberts. Canadian tide heights use chart datum, a level set low on purpose. Negative heights are uncommon.
