About Deception Pass State Park (Heart Lake)

Deception Pass State Park (Heart Lake) is a public boat ramp in Skagit County, Washington, on Heart Lake. From here SeaStatus scores 14 waters: Bellingham Channel, Cap Sante Waterway, Flounder Bay, Guemes Channel, Northwest Pass, Rosario Strait, and 8 more.

The main water here is Burrows 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 9448794, Anacortes, Guemes Channel, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 1.9 mi from this ramp.
