About Van Riper's Resort

Van Riper's Resort is a boat ramp in Clallam County, Washington, on Strait of Juan de Fuca - Clallam Bay. From here SeaStatus scores 6 waters: Clallam River, Little Hoko River, Hoko River, Clallam Bay, Central U.S. Waters Strait Of Juan De Fuca and West Entrance U.S. Waters Strait Of Juan De Fuca.

The main water here is Clallam 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 46087, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 9443361, Sekiu, Clallam Bay, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 0.8 mi from this ramp.
