How to use this marine forecast

Use the live wind, wave, tide, and visibility data above to plan inshore cruising, fishing, or transit through local passages. Always cross-reference active marine warnings from Environment Canada and check tide predictions with the Canadian Hydrographic Service before departure.

Local conditions to watch

• Strong westerlies in Juan de Fuca Strait can build waves quickly in the afternoon.
• Tidal currents in Race Passage, Enterprise Channel, and Active Pass exceed small-boat capabilities on peak flows.
• Summer fog in the Strait can drop visibility rapidly; carry radar or AIS if operating offshore.
