About the tides at Sanikiluaq
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Sanikiluaq, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. On a typical day the water moves about 0.65 m between high and low. That is smaller than most Nunavut stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.00 m, comes on October 28, and the smallest, 0.36 m, tomorrow.
Predictions for Sanikiluaq come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. It was established in 1983. The nearest other station is Tukarak Island, 42 km away, where high tide comes about 57 min later. 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.
