Shelter Bay is a boat ramp in Skagit County, Washington, on Shelter Bay. From here SeaStatus scores 12 waters: North Fork Skagit River, Sullivan Slough, Skagit River (Segment 1 of 7), Skagit River (Segment 2 of 7), Shelter Bay, Swinomish Channel, and 6 more.
The main water here is Shelter 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 46118, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 9448558, La Conner, Swinomish Channel, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 0.2 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
