Weather and water snapshot

Forecast snapshot assembled Nov 2, 09:00 a.m. GMT-7. Times use America/Vancouver. Saved source values are shown immediately; missing readings remain unavailable. Check source times before planning an outing.

The best supported daylight fishing window is 3:00–6:00 PM, a three-hour outing rated 2/10 (Poor). Bite potential is 5.3/10 (Fair), so timing is only modestly helpful. Conditions are dry, but winds build to 11 knots with gusts near 19 knots, while waves remain large. Fishing’s overall outing limit is Large waves limit outing conditions. This is not a comfortable or low-risk small-boat window; a captain still needs to confirm departure conditions. The stronger solunar major period runs 7:28–9:28 AM, overlapping the morning high tide at 8:47 AM, but rain is falling through noon and the morning fishing outing is also 2/10 (Poor), with Heavy rain and Large waves limit outing conditions. The evening major period, 7:28–9:28 PM, is after dark and is not a fishing-outing recommendation. Boating is 2/10 (Poor) and kayaking is 2/10 (Poor) through the available daylight assessments. Large waves limit outing conditions for both, with afternoon wind limits also affecting paddling conditions. There is no supported daylight kayaking or diving recommendation. Sailing is 4/10 (Fair). The afternoon is the more usable daylight period, noon–6:00 PM, but waves limit outing comfort. Winds rise from about 8 knots at noon to 11 knots during mid-afternoon, with gusts up to 20 knots around 4:00 PM. For shoreline time, 1:00–3:00 PM is rated 8.7/10 (Excellent), with dry weather during that interval. The lower tide is at 2:30 PM. Tide timing does not confirm access or harvesting permission. Wildlife is 7.6/10 (Good) from 2:00–4:00 PM, though winds are increasing through that period. Rain is the main morning comfort issue, with roughly 0.7–1.1 mm per hour from 7:00–10:00 AM. It clears around noon, but the marine picture remains the limiting factor: waves are 2.5–2.9 m today, with a 2.46 m west swell. Visibility is near 3 km, and fog is forecast late in the evening. The next few days do not offer an obvious marine improvement. Waves are forecast to build substantially from Wednesday onward, reaching 4.8–6.3 m Thursday and remaining elevated into the weekend.
