      Hi all,
      I was kayaking in the Gulf islands (British Columbia, Canada, not far north of US border) this weekend and noticed that my windy app (I have a premium membership) was failing to show me tidal currents. Then, when I got home I fired up the webapp and got a broader view. It looks to me like the tidal current layer doesn't show anything much north of the US border..

      Any chance anyone has any hints on how to see the amazing particle animation of tidal currents in Canada? Or is this an intermitent data issue?

      In the below screenshot you can see how the tidal current animation cuts off a bit north of the US/Canada border (which is pretty irregular in this region)

        There is apparently a blind zone in the inlet behind the Vancouver island.

            @jmzaleski Yes, unfortunately, we don't get data for this area from the forecast model.
