===Climate=== The bay's shape and the steep cliffs along its northern shore sometimes create particularly windy conditions especially off [[Nepisiguit Bay]]. Under the right wind direction and speed, sea conditions on large areas of the bay can become quite treacherous. Tidal currents are generally weak, except at the mouths of some rivers and certain channels.<ref>[[Environment Canada]] - Meteorological Service - [http://www.qc.ec.gc.ca/Meteo/secrets_stlaurent/gaspesie_baiedeschaleurs_e.htm Baie des Chaleurs] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040928175246/http://www.qc.ec.gc.ca/Meteo/secrets_stlaurent/gaspesie_baiedeschaleurs_e.htm |date=September 28, 2004 }}</ref> Its configuration tends to channel the wind for two reasons: the steep cliffs on its North side, and its V shape. This means that in the middle of this section, off Nepisiguit Bay, there is a zone that is particularly windy and subject to high seas if the wind is from the Northwest or the Northeast. Tidal currents in this section rarely reach one knot, except at the mouths of some rivers and some channels.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ec.gc.ca/meteo-weather/8EBF321D-EC47-4F27-90B7-A007DDECBDE4/P58-65-SOSL-Gaspesie-BaiedesChaleurs.pdf|title=Gaspésie - Baie des Chaleurs |publisher=[[Environment and Climate Change Canada]]|access-date=31 May 2019}}</ref>
