About the tides at Wainwright Basin

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.72 m, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The tide range here is very large, about 3.35 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 British Columbia stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on October 11, with a range of 4.77 m. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 3.06 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 1966. The nearest other station is Morse Basin, 1.8 km away. For tidal currents, see Tuck Narrows, Prince Rupert Harbour. Canadian tide heights use chart datum, a level set low on purpose. Negative heights are uncommon.
