About Skagit Headquarters

Skagit Headquarters is a public boat ramp in Skagit County, Washington, on Freshwater Slough. From here SeaStatus scores 6 waters: South Fork Skagit River, Steamboat Slough, Tom Moore Slough, Freshwater Slough, Northern Inland Waters Including The San Juan Islands (Area 17 of 18) and Skagit Bay.

The main water here is Freshwater Slough. Rivers are scored mostly on wind and current. Wave height is not part of the score, because a river has no real sea state; visibility and comfort make up the rest. 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 0.3 mi from this ramp.
