About the tides at Victoria Harbour
Victoria Harbour usually gets one high and one low tide a day, known as a diurnal tide. With a mean range of about 1.69 m, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.80 m, comes on November 23, and the smallest, 1.14 m, on November 19.
Victoria Harbour is a CHS station with a live water level gauge. Predictions come from the station's own tidal analysis. It was established in 1905. The nearest other station is Selkirk Water, 1.8 km away, where high tide comes about 10 min later. For tidal currents, see Trial Island, 5.2 miles Ssw of. 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.
Tide predictions and water levels from the Canadian Hydrographic Service. For planning only, not for navigation. Real water levels can differ because of wind, air pressure and river flow. Always check conditions on site.
