About Clear Lake

Clear Lake is a public boat ramp in Skagit County, Washington, on Clear Lake. From here SeaStatus scores one water: Skagit River (Segment 3 of 7).

The main water here is Skagit River (Segment 3 of 7). Rivers are scored mostly on wind and current. Wave height is not part of the score, because a river has no real sea state; visibility and comfort make up the rest. Wind, and waves where it reports them, come from NDBC buoy 46118, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 9448682, Swinomish Channel ent., Padilla Bay, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 3.0 mi from this ramp.
