Otter Bay, BC Daily Water Report — November 2, 2026

Weather and water snapshot

Forecast snapshot assembled Nov 2, 05:10 p.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 10:00 AM–12:00 PM, for two hours. Fishing scores 6.7/10 (Good), with separate bite potential 6.1/10 (Good). The 6:51–8:51 AM solunar major period is earlier than the scored outing, while the tide is still rising toward the 1:28 PM high. Winds are around 4 knots, with no gust reported, temperatures 6.4–6.8 C, and no forecast rain in those hours. Morning forecast coverage is partial, but this is the best supported available fishing window. Fog or very low visibility remains the overall outing limit, so confirm visibility before launching. The afternoon fishing option is 12:00–2:00 PM, also two hours, scoring 6.6/10 (Good) with separate bite potential 6/10 (Good). It covers the high tide at 1:28 PM. Winds stay near 4 knots, with gusts up to 6 knots and no forecast rain, but cloud cover remains heavy. The next solunar major period, 6:51–8:51 PM, falls after daylight, so treat it as a timing cue only, not a reason for a night outing. For boaters and paddlers, 3:00–5:53 PM is the strongest daylight window. Boating is 8.6/10 (Excellent) and kayaking 8.5/10 (Excellent). Winds ease from about 5 knots to 2 knots through the late afternoon, with no forecast rain. The sea state is very small, with modelled waves near 0.02 m. Visibility is still the key concern; the day’s overall boating and kayaking scores are 4/10 (Fair) because of fog or very low visibility. Check conditions at the dock or launch, and do not treat the score as departure approval. Sailing is Fair: 4.6/10 from 10:00 AM–12:00 PM and 5.6/10 from 2:00–4:00 PM. Light winds may suit a quiet drift but not reliable sailing, and wind and gust models disagree. For shoreline exploring, the useful daylight outing is 3:00–5:53 PM, 2 hours 53 minutes, rated 5.9/10 (Fair). The tide is falling after the 1:28 PM high, but tide timing does not confirm beach access or harvesting permission. Fog or very low visibility is the main limitation. Water temperature is modelled at 11.1 C, so anyone getting wet should plan for cold-water exposure. Air temperatures rise into the 8–10 C range late in the day, but skies remain mostly cloudy. Pressure is falling. The next few days look less settled: winds and rain chances increase from Wednesday onward, with the strongest sampled winds and largest waves showing Thursday.
