Jackson Beach Park is a public boat ramp in San Juan County, Washington, on North Bay (San Juan Island). From here SeaStatus scores 13 waters: Upright Channel, Wasp Passage, Friday Harbor, Argyle Lagoon, Kansas Cove, Merrifield Cove, and 7 more.
The main water here is Northern Inland Waters Including The San Juan Islands (Area 2 of 18). Nearshore water is scored mostly on wind and wave height, with wave steepness and the tidal current counting too. A current running against the wind is treated as worse than either one alone. Wind, and waves where it reports them, come from NDBC buoy 46088, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 9449880, Friday Harbor, San Juan Island, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 4.8 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
