Ford Cove, BC Daily Water Report — November 1, 2026

Weather and water snapshot

Forecast snapshot assembled Nov 1, 12:36 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 12:00 PM–2:00 PM, rated 5.8/10 (Fair). Bite potential is 4.7/10 (Fair), with the noon high tide at 12:40 PM as the main timing cue. Winds are light around 3 knots, air temperatures rise from about 9°C toward 10°C, and no rain is forecast in that interval. It is a workable harbour session, but not a guarantee of feeding fish. Morning remains closed by fog or very low visibility. The 6:02–8:02 AM solunar major period overlaps dawn, but visibility is the limiting condition and it does not reopen the window. The next major period, 6:02–8:02 PM, is after daylight, so it is not a daylight fishing option. The afternoon is the practical water window. Boating is 8.8/10 (Excellent) and kayaking 8.9/10 (Excellent) from 12:00 PM–2:00 PM, with near-flat water and light winds. Diving is 7.3/10 (Good) from 12:00 PM–5:58 PM. Surface conditions are favourable in that span, though the available water temperature is 11.8°C from satellite data on October 29; plan exposure accordingly. Sailing is 4.6/10 (Fair) from 2:00–4:00 PM, limited by disagreement between wind and gust models. For shoreline exploring, 3:00 PM–5:58 PM is 6.8/10 (Good). The tide is falling toward the 6:56 PM low, with light winds around 2–3 knots through the late afternoon. Tide timing does not confirm access or harvesting permission. Conditions deteriorate after sunset as wind builds from about 4 knots at 8:00 PM to 8–9 knots late evening, with gusts near 10 knots by 11:00 PM. The day’s overall activity ratings are 4/10 (Fair) because fog or very low visibility remains the broad outing limit.
