About Dave Mackie Park

Dave Mackie Park is a public boat ramp in Island County, Washington, on Useless Bay. From here SeaStatus scores 7 waters: Cultus Bay, Useless Bay, Puget Sound and Hood Canal (Area 10 of 20), Northern Inland Waters Including The San Juan Islands (Area 13 of 18), Possession Sound, Puget Sound, and 1 more.

The main water here is Useless Bay. Bays are scored mostly on wind. Wave height counts for less than on open water, and comfort (temperature and chance of rain) counts for more. Wind, and waves where it reports them, come from NDBC buoy 46125, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 9447814, Glendale, Whidbey Island, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 2.1 mi from this ramp.
