Dockside Park is a boat ramp in Whatcom County, Washington, on Strait of Georgia. From here SeaStatus scores 3 waters: Drayton Harbor, Northern Inland Waters Including The San Juan Islands (Area 4 of 18) and Birch Bay.
The main water here is Birch 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 9449679, Blaine, Semiahmoo Bay, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 0.9 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
