The forecast for Friday looks very wet and windy. As I write this, Thursday morning, we have a small craft advisory issued for most of the day tomorrow. Here’s a current snapshot from WindAlert for Alki Point:
Tides on Friday go form a low of 0.60 feet at 8:42 AM to 11.25 feet at 4:23 PM.
The Puget Sound Marine Forecast, as of 8:46 AM this morning has wind waves up to 4-5 feet.
FRI S wind 15 to 25 kt. Wind waves 2 to 4 ft. Rain likely.
FRI NIGHT S wind 20 to 30 kt easing to 15 to 25 kt after midnight. Wind waves 2 to 5 ft.
SAT S wind 15 to 25 kt. Wind waves 2 to 4 ft.
Around high tide, if we have gusts in the 30s mostly coming from the south with some southwest and waves of 4-5 feet, we’re likely to see plenty of splashing and possibly water coming over bulkheads.
Some neighbors are already moving their boats to where they will be more protected from the wind and waves.
With this being the first BIG rain of the season combined with the predicted wind, we’re expecting some tree branches to come down too.
Stay safe, Neighbors!
