Ramps that reach this water

About Lopez Sound

Lopez Sound is a bay reached from boat ramps in Washington. SeaStatus lists 5 ramps that launch into it, the closest being Obstruction Pass at 0.7 mi.

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 46118, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 9449932, Armitage Island, Thatcher Pass, the closest one to here.
