5 or so hours later.

how much does the tide effect the canal.

I always thought the tide was about 4 hours after Point Atkinson.
The water can rise up a foot or more depending upon the water levels. A few years ago before I knew that the tide could affect the canal, a buddy and I waded to a sandbar under the highway bridge. Wading in, the water was just above waist high. A few hours later, the tide came in. Wading out, the water was up to our necks. Filled our waders full of water and ruined a digital camera. Luckily current was really slow. But it still freaked me out. Now, I always check the tide tables if I plan on fishing the canal.

Wow! That's pretty crazy. I didn't realize tides went so far up the Fraser to effect the canal. Sure you lost a camera, but it could have been moch worse.
