Alberniweather ☔️ ☀️ ❄️ 🌬️
@alberniweather@socialbc.ca  ·  activity timestamp 2 months ago

Watching the currents in the Somass River at the head of the Alberni Inlet. I'm safely perched on a platform about 5 metres above the water.

The lights of the city and paper mill shining onto the water allow me to see how it is flowing. Have not noticed anything abnormal.

Also keeping an eye on data from tide gauges in Tofino, Bamfield (at the other end of the Inlet) and here. Nothing significant has registered.

To emphasize that this is a long-duration event, nearly an hour after the predicted time waves would appear at Langara on Haida Gwaii, we are now seeing much more obvious waves on the station there. This is still only about 5cm.

This could mean we might see tiny variations in Tofino and Port Alberni to start in the next 15-30min, but could see much larger variations and currents in the midnight to 12:30 timeframe.

Port Alberni residents: You can safely see the data from the Port Alberni tide station here:

Mobile: https://tides.gc.ca/en/water-level-application-optimized-mobile-devices (click the blue bar and search for Port Alberni)

Or Web: https://tides.gc.ca/en/stations

The red line is the observed height, the black predicted. We are also at low tide.

The water is very obviously receding on the beach at Hanalei in Hawaii. Beach and rocks exposed and current moving left to right out amazing to see

Now coming back in
