About San Rafael Bay

San Rafael Bay is a bay reached from boat ramps in California. SeaStatus lists one ramp that launches into it, the closest being Safe Harbor Loch Lomond Marina at 0.1 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 46026, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 9414873, Point San Quentin, the closest one to here.
