About this launch
- Faces W (270°). Wind from the E blows offshore here, pushing you away from the beach, so it lowers the call once it reaches about 8 mph. Wind from the W blows onshore and builds chop on the way in.
- Open water: forecast chop counts toward the call.
- Suitable for all skill levels when the wind and water allow.
- Marine forecast zone: Puget Sound and Hood Canal (PZZ135).
- Tides: NOAA predictions for Everett (station 9447659). Water temperature: NOAA sensor at Port Townsend.
- Location: 47.9990, -122.2230 (Everett & Edmonds).
