About the tides at Seal Cove
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Seal Cove, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. Seal Cove sees a mean range of about 4.05 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, 6.04 m, comes on Sunday, and the smallest, 2.53 m, on October 16.
Predictions for Seal Cove come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. The nearest other station is Prince Rupert, 3.3 km away. For tidal currents, see Tuck Narrows, Prince Rupert Harbour. 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.
