Marine Weather StatementIssued 10:24 AM PDT 14 April 2026 The cold front will continue to move through southern waters today. This will give a brief period of marginal northwesterly gales between late afternoon and tonight over West Coast Vancouver Island South, Johnstone Strait, and Juan de Fuca Strait.
Northwesterly gales are expected over the offshore waters today and Wednesday as a ridge of high pressure strengthens over the Pacific Ocean.
As the ridge of high pressure approaches the British Columbia Coast on Wednesday, northwesterly gales will likely occur again on Wednesday afternoon and evening over Johnstone Strait and West Coast Vancouver Island South.
Additionally, the cold front is bringing the risk of thunderstorms to portions of the southern waters this afternoon and evening. A trough behind the cold front, will bring a risk of thunderstorms to the central and northern waters tonight, and a risk of thunderstorms to the southern waters Wednesday morning and afternoon.
