Possession Beach Waterfront Park is a public boat ramp in Island County, Washington, on Possession Sound. From here SeaStatus scores 6 waters: Cultus Bay, Puget Sound and Hood Canal (Area 19 of 20), Northern Inland Waters Including The San Juan Islands (Area 16 of 18), Puget Sound, Possession Sound and Admiralty Inlet.
The main water here is Possession Sound. 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 46125, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 9447814, Glendale, Whidbey Island, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 7.0 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
