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 are expected with enhanced wave activity and strong winds at times.

Hazard: Possible coastal flooding due to storm surge. Water levels will likely exceed highest astronomical tide.

When: Today and Sunday. Peak water levels will be observed during high tide, occuring from 11am to 2PM local time.

Where: Low-lying and exposed coastal sections of the Southern Gulf Islands, Saanich Inlet, Swartz Bay to Cordova Bay, Cordova Bay to East Sooke

Discussion:
A series of Pacific low-pressure systems are moving across the region and coinciding with a period of high tides this weekend. The storm surge enhancement to the high tide cycle will cause water levels to exceed high astronomical tide. East to southeasterly winds gusting from 60 to 90 km/h this weekend are expected over exposed coastal sections at times and will cause enhanced wave action and swells in some areas.
