How to read this
Forecast text is the official Environment Canada marine forecast for the named area. Buoy readings are point observations from Environment Canada's hourly regional buoy summaries. A buoy can miss wind funnelling, current, local chop and inlet effects. If a reading is stale, missing or implausible, the affected field should stay blank rather than guess.
Primary sources: South Coast buoy summary, North Coast buoy summary, and the official marine forecast links on each card. Data Source: Environment and Climate Change Canada. Not navigation or safety advice.
Page generated Oct 17, 4:02 PM PDT. Buoy readings range from Oct 17, 3:00 PM PDT to Oct 17, 3:00 PM PDT.
