⚠Coastal Flooding Statement ▶
6:01 a.m. PCT Sunday 8 November 2026

This statement is in effect for parts of the coast due to the following hazard(s):
- Higher than normal water levels

Elevated ocean water levels accompanied by strong winds and waves are expected, exceeding highest astronomical tide.

What:
-Possible coastal flooding due to storm surge coinciding with high tide.

When:
- Today near noon (10 am to 2 pm).

Where:
-Coastlines along west Vancouver Island.

Additional Information:
A low pressure system is bringing very strong southwesterly winds capable of generating large waves along the west coast of Vancouver Island today. The timing of the strong onshore winds and high waves with high tide may result in water levels exceeding the highest astronomical tide.

Minor coastal flooding is likely along exposed shorelines especially in the low-lying areas.

Roads and walkways maybe difficult to navigate due to flooding and/or debris, such as driftwood and rocks.

Coastal erosion is possible in sensitive areas, such as tidal flats, estuaries, dunes, beaches and barrier islands.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to BCstorm@ec.gc.ca or post reports on social media using #BCStorm.

In effect for:
  • Vancouver Island Coastline from Bamfield to Clo-oose
