If I have read the charts correctly, tomorrow (Sunday June 13) is the lowest tide of the year. Max ebb is around 10:30. With the weather so nice, a trip to the beach may be in order. Island View Beach to Cordova Bay is about a 10K hike, and I understand you can keep going all the way around Mt. Doug Beach.

July 12 & 13 will produce similar low tides. The Botannical Beach tidal pools is one place to enjoy a low tide.

As Victoria’s coastline experiences some of its lowest tides in years, the receding water has exposed a slab of granite at Harling Point, the rocky beach beside the Chinese Cemetery in Oak Bay.
It’s no ordinary rock, according to Edwin Nissen, University of Victoria professor of ocean and earth sciences. It most likely travelled — via glacier — hundreds of kilometres from the Coast Mountains north of Vancouver between 10,000 and 20,000 years ago.
Nissen said the technical term is a glacial erratic — basically an out-of-place rock — in this case, an igneous rock from the mainland that’s been transported by glacial movement.
During the Pleistocene era, which ended roughly 12,000 years ago, enormous glaciers flowed down from the Coast Mountains, over Vancouver Island and out into the Pacific Ocean.

The next big low-tide event is expected mid-June 2026.

I can't tell if you're trying to tide me over or turn the tables. Anyway, I don't have time to wait for your reply.

Because I'm going out now. Period.

I apologize, that was really low. I stink sometimes.
