Swartz Bay, BC fishing conditions

Weather and water snapshot

Forecast snapshot assembled Nov 2, 02:18 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 3:00–5:53 PM, for 2 hours 53 minutes, rated 5.6/10 (Fair). The separate bite potential is 4.6/10 (Fair) in that period, so it is a reasonable time to fish but not a strong feeding signal. Winds are light at 1–2 knots through the window, with no rain sampled and air around 9°C easing to 8.5°C. The water is essentially flat, with 0.02 m waves, but fog or very low visibility remains the main concern for the day. Confirm visibility before heading out. The stronger solunar major period, 6:51–8:51 AM, overlaps fog-limited morning conditions. Morning fishing was 4/10 (Fair), with the daylight outing limited to 10:00 AM–noon and closed for fog or very low visibility. The evening major period, 6:51–8:51 PM, is after daylight and is not a daylight outing option. Boating is Excellent at 8.8/10 from 3:00–5:53 PM, and kayaking is Excellent at 9.1/10 from noon–2:00 PM. Both benefit from very light wind and flat water, but low visibility is still a practical navigation hazard. Sailing is Poor from noon–5:53 PM because there is too little wind for sailing. Wildlife viewing is Good from 3:00–5:53 PM, with light winds and dry sampled hours. Shoreline Adventures are also Good for that same 3:00–5:53 PM daylight interval. The afternoon tide is falling toward the 7:33 PM low, but tide timing does not confirm beach access or harvesting permission. Water temperature is 11.1°C, so immersion protection remains important for paddlers and anyone working close to the water. Pressure is falling, skies are overcast, and the forecast does not establish an all-day dry period despite zero precipitation in the sampled daytime hours.
