Residents and commuters on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, should prepare for rain and wind that may cause choppy waters and travel delays through Wednesday, March 11, 2026.

According to The Weather Network, the community will see steady rain through the middle of the week. About 5mm of rain is expected to fall on Wednesday afternoon, while wind gusts reached 38 km/h on Tuesday, March 10, 2026.

These weather conditions can make the water in the surrounding channels rougher than usual. This may lead to slower travel for small boats and possible changes to ferry trips due to reduced visibility and waves.

BC Ferries is encouraging passengers to check for service updates before heading to the terminal. People can find the latest information on the company’s current conditions page or through their social media channels.
