Horsehead Bay is a public boat ramp in Pierce County, Washington, on Horsehead Bay. From here SeaStatus scores 6 waters: Carr Inlet, Shaws Cove, Horsehead Bay, Pitt Passage, Puget Sound and Hood Canal (Area 6 of 20) and Hale Passage.
The main water here is Horsehead 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 46121, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 9446451, Horsehead Bay, Carr Inlet, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 0.3 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
