Ramps that reach this water
Coastal waters from Cape Shoalwater WA to Cape Falcon OR out 10 nm is a nearshore coastal water reached from boat ramps in Washington and Oregon. SeaStatus lists 20 or more ramps that launch into it, the closest being Port of Willapa Harbor, Tokeland at 0.0 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 46029, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 9440574, Columbia River entrance (N. Jetty), the closest one to here.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
