About this launch
- Faces NNW (330°). Wind from the SSE blows offshore here, pushing you away from the beach, so it lowers the call once it reaches about 8 mph. Wind from the NNW 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 Glendale, Whidbey Island (station 9447814). Water temperature: NOAA sensor at Port Townsend.
- Location: 47.9480, -122.3060 (Everett & Edmonds).
