About Deception Pass State Park

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

The main water here is Deception Pass. Inlets are scored on wind, waves and, more than on any other water, the tidal current: an ebb running against an onshore wind is what makes an inlet dangerous. Wind, and waves where it reports them, come from NDBC buoy 46118, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 9447995, Cornet Bay, Whidbey Island, Deception Pass, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 0.5 mi from this ramp.
