Ramps that reach this water
Coastal Waters From Cape Flattery To James Island Out 10 Nm is a nearshore coastal water reached from boat ramps in Washington. SeaStatus lists 6 ramps that launch into it, the closest being Quileute Marina at 0.3 mi.
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 46087, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 9442705, Tskawahyah Island, Cape Alava, the closest one to here.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
