Every BC fishing area ranked by tomorrow's forecast wind & seas · updated daily
All 29 BC fishing areas ranked for Mon Nov 2’s forecast wind and seas, calmest first. This ranks whether the water is fishable — the day’s peak wind and biggest seas against the same bands the 7-day badge uses. It is not the six-factor Fishing Score: open an area for its hourly score, tide movement and the best window of the day.

Good ≤10 kt & ≤2 ft Marginal to 15 kt / 3 ft Rough ≥15 kt or ≥3 ft. Wind is the day’s peak and seas the day’s maximum (wind chop in full, long-period swell at half — it rolls rather than slaps), so a Rough badge means it blows up at some point that day. The 🎣 times on a Good day are the daylight windows around mid-tide, when the water moves fastest (a high or low is slack) — from CHS tide predictions at the nearest station. First and last light are prime too; the per-hour Fishing Score and exact tides are on each area’s page. Updated daily from the Open-Meteo (GEM) forecast.
