Marine Weather Statement

Issued 3:45 PM PDT 24 June 2026 A ridge of high pressure over Haida Gwaii this afternoon will weaken
as it moves eastward giving moderate to strong westerly winds to most
waters this evening. Gale force northwest winds off West Vancouver
Island will ease near midnight.

Gale force westerlies through Juan de Fuca Strait and gale force
northwesterlies through Johnstone Strait have developed this
afternoon. These winds will ease early Thursday morning.

An approaching low pressure system will bring gale force southerly
winds to the central waters on Thursday. These winds will veer to
strong northwesterly in the wake of the low Thursday night.
