Tides and Currents
Notes:
1: The images on this page are illustrative and are NOT dynamically updated. You must click on one of the images or links to view updated charts and tables.
2: **ALERT** Approach the Tillicum Bridge/Gorge Narrows with extreme caution. **ALERT**.
The reversing current in Gorge Narrows, under the Tillicum Bridge, can be very dangerous.
In 2024, the Canadian Hydrographic Service installed a current meter on the Tillicum Bridge, and by mid-2025 had enough data to develop and test a predictive model for the currents. The current pages for 2025 have been released to VCKC and can be viewed here. They will be published eventually in the official Tide and Current Tables (station 07129). VCKC is extremely grateful to the Canadian Hydrographic Service, as well as to Districh of Saanich staff, for this huge contribution to the safety and navigability of the Gorge Waterway.
