So I'm planning on being out on the Fraser river this weekend, among those tidal islands, but I can't remember how high of a tide will swamp them completely.
Anyone know if a high tide of 3.6m (11.8ft) at Steveston will force me out by 10am?

Which tidal islands?
Sorry, duck, barber, Gunn. Those tidal mud islands.
My experience isn't that much but I didn't think they were ever totally under water. The edges sure. Woodward Island struck me as higher than the others.
Yeah, I can't be much more precise than silveragent but my memory is that there was always high ground. Although when I participated in the cleanup a few years ago I was amazed at how far from the river I collected trash that floated there.
I've had my favourite spot get swamped twice last year, but mostly it doesnt come over the bank,and its a decently high up spot too.
Just don't remember how high those swamping tides get. Guess I'll find out this weekend :D
