Obstruction Pass is a public boat ramp in San Juan County, Washington, on Obstruction Pass. From here SeaStatus scores 12 waters: Bellingham Channel, Buck Bay, Buoy Bay, Cayou Channel, East Sound, Peavine Pass, and 6 more.
The main water here is Obstruction 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 TWC1165, Peavine Pass, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 0.5 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
