Southwest Harbor is a public boat ramp in Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska, on Pacific Ocean - Blying Sound - Resurrection Bay. From here SeaStatus scores 2 waters: Resurrection Bay and Cape Cleare to Gore Point out to 15 NM (Area 1 of 2).
The main water here is Resurrection Bay. 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. Tide predictions come from NOAA station 9455090, Seward, Resurrection Bay, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 4.2 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
