About the tides at Swartz Bay

This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. With a mean range of about 1.57 m, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. That is smaller than most British Columbia stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 3.09 m, comes on October 30, and the smallest, 0.62 m, on October 27.

Predictions for Swartz Bay come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. The nearest other station is Sidney, 4.6 km away, where high tide comes about 8 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Turn Point, Boundary Pass. 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.
