About Sixteen Lake

Sixteen Lake is a public boat ramp in Skagit County, Washington, on Sixteen Lake. From here SeaStatus scores one water: Northern Inland Waters Including The San Juan Islands (Area 17 of 18).

The main water here is Northern Inland Waters Including The San Juan Islands (Area 17 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 TWC1131, Stanwood, Stillaguamish River, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 2.5 mi from this ramp.
