WWW Predictor

Canadian Government tides

Environment Canada has a page which shows today's tides for various BC coast locations which can be reached here

The Canadian Hydrographic service also has a page which allows you to choose a variety of BC coast locations. This has hourly predictions and allows you to select the dates of interest.

South Vancouver Island Tides, British Columbia

This page is a "front end" to the excellent WWW Tide/Current Predictor at http://tbone.biol.sc.edu/tide

The page has direct links to a version of the free Xtide program for UNIX and provides the ability to look up tides for hundreds of locations around the world. For Southern Vancouver Island tides, I have selected out the local sites from their enormous list and provided a form below to select tide and current information for the SVI stations. I have also created the following page which is an Alphabetic list of all BC tide and Current sites

The sites available can be seen on the following map link:
