As of today, peak season now, through ~August 31. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
Skookumchuck Narrows on British Columbia's Sunshine Coast is a narrow marine channel where large tidal volumes are forced through a constriction, producing very strong currents, standing waves, boils and whirlpools.
The rapids are predictable with the tidal cycle and are a major attraction for shore viewing, kayakers and boat tours.
