Padilla Bay is a public boat ramp in Skagit County, Washington, on Padilla Bay. From here SeaStatus scores 4 waters: Guemes Channel, Padilla Bay, Swinomish Channel and Northern Inland Waters Including The San Juan Islands (Area 12 of 18).
The main water here is Northern Inland Waters Including The San Juan Islands (Area 12 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 46118, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 9448682, Swinomish Channel ent., Padilla Bay, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 5.6 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
