About Deception Pass State Park (Bowman Bay)

Deception Pass State Park (Bowman Bay) is a public boat ramp in Skagit County, Washington, on Bowman Bay. From here SeaStatus scores 16 waters: Langley Bay, Lottie Bay, Mac's Cove, Miller Bay, Northwest Pass, Rosario Strait, and 10 more.

The main water here is Bowman 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 46118, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 9448614, Deception Pass St. Park, Bowman Bay, Fidalgo I., the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 0.2 mi from this ramp.
