Current ConditionsPort Ludlow Marina
This dashboard shows live conditions for Port Ludlow, updated automatically every ten minutes with data from NOAA and the National Weather Service: today's tide curve and the next high or low, current wind and water temperature from the nearest NOAA station in Port Townsend, and the official marine forecast for Admiralty Inlet.
Tides shown are predictions, and the wind reading comes from Port Townsend — conditions inside the bay are often a little gentler than what's measured out at the point. Please use your own judgment and official charts when planning time on the water.
Weather alerts, when issued, appear at the top.
Check the Tides First
Tides are the heartbeat of Port Ludlow. Whether you're launching a kayak from the marina, beachcombing, crabbing, or just planning a walk along the water, the tide chart should be your first stop.
Best resource for day-of checks: The NOAA Tides & Currents station at Port Ludlow (station #9445017). It gives you exact high and low tide times and heights for today and up to two years out, plus sunrise/sunset times.

Marine Forecast & Wind
For boaters and paddlers heading out of the marina or into Admiralty Inlet, check the National Weather Service marine forecast before casting off:
Watch for Small Craft Advisories and wind direction. West and northwest winds funnel straight down Admiralty Inlet and can build chop in the bay surprisingly fast. If you're a kayaker or paddleboarder, anything over 10 knots of wind is worth a second thought, and always wear your PFD.
