Washington Park is a public boat ramp in Skagit County, Washington, on Rosario Strait. From here SeaStatus scores 14 waters: Bellingham Channel, Flounder Bay, Guemes Channel, Ship Harbor, Thatcher Pass, Alice Bight, and 8 more.
The main water here is Rosario Strait. Inlets are scored on wind, waves and, more than on any other water, the tidal current: an ebb running against an onshore wind is what makes an inlet dangerous. Wind, and waves where it reports them, come from NDBC buoy 46118, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 9448772, Ship Harbor, Fidalgo Island, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 5.7 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
