Spanaway Park is a public boat ramp in Pierce County, Washington, on Spanaway Lake. From here SeaStatus scores one water: Puget Sound and Hood Canal (Area 14 of 20).
The main water here is Puget Sound and Hood Canal (Area 14 of 20). 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 46121, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 9446714, Steilacoom, Cormorant Passage, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 6.9 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
