About the tides at Sooke
Sooke has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The average range is about 1.28 m. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most British Columbia stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on October 28, with a range of 2.95 m. Neap tides follow on October 29, when the range shrinks to 0.97 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 1958. The nearest other station is Sooke Basin, 3.3 km away, where high tide comes about 26 min later. Canadian tide heights use chart datum, a level set low on purpose. Negative heights are uncommon.
