About the tides at Vieux-Québec

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Vieux-Québec, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The tide range here is very large, about 4.09 m on average. Water can come in faster than you can walk across flats. Check the time before you go out. That is larger than most Quebec stations on this site. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 5.07 m. Neap tides follow on Saturday, when the range shrinks to 3.18 m.

Vieux-Québec is a CHS station with a live water level gauge. Predictions come from the station's own tidal analysis. It was established in 2009. The nearest other station is Immigration Wharf, 2.8 km away. Canadian tide heights use chart datum, a level set low on purpose. Negative heights are uncommon.
