Overview

Edit
This is how I predict Kayak Point Check this URL showing Pacific Vectors This visually gives you a center of the front and clues to when it will hit the coast (if you check it often enough). Get a wind speed reading of +15 SE (not ESE or S) for Everett off the weather radio. Get a pressure reading that has a minimum of 1 pt between Bellingham and Seattle also available from the weather radio

Go when the gradient between Seattle and Bellingham has been between .07 and .09 inches. While the gradient between Arlington and Port Angeles has been between .12 and .2 inches. The distances are comparable. Seattle to Bellingham is approx. 80 miles and Arlington to Port Angeles is approx. 60 miles.

Know that Kayak is extremely sensitive to wind direction and it’s rare to have more than a few hours of good SE sailing. But when it’s good, it’s reeeeally good. High tides also bring the snags off the beach.

Orcas are spotted in the channel regularly and seals are usually near shore jibe markers.

D I R E C T I O N S Just north of Everett on I-5, take the Marysville exit and head west for about 15 miles until you see the park sign on the left side. Lots of parking and rigging areas. A fishing dock and nice bathrooms.

It is your responsibility to check whether kitesurfing is allowed at the spot; you might need a 'special permit' or membership from a local kite organization, etc. Local rules can change. Respect others - kiters or not; kite safely and enjoy the wind!
