The other concerning area for wind against tide is at Cattle Pass. A strong ebb against a Westerly will make the pass very lumpy. See your tide tables for time of slack current at Cattle Pass and time your arrival accordingly. With all these caveats, I've crossed the Strait many times in my former boat, a Hunter 335, with no difficulties.
In this study we used shoreline surveys to compare and contrast the nearshore foraging behavior and abundance of these three pursuit-diving species in Cattle Pass, Washington. We sought to assess tidal and temporal influence on abundance and compare diving behaviors among species, specifically focusing on: dive and rest times, lateral dive ...
Zooplankton in Cattle Pass are advected from two water sources. Water from the Juan de Fuca Strait enters the pass from the South during flooding tides, while water from the Strait of Georgia enters from the North during ebbing tides. The questions I am interested in answering are: how does the marine influence of the Juan de Fuca Strait and the estuarine influence the Strait of …
Two studies were conducted at Cattle Pass, Washington between 13-18 August 2014. The first study was conducted to determine the relationship between tidal height and the haul-out abundance of Steller Sea Lions (Eumetopias jubatus) at the Whale Rocks of the San Juan Channel. There was a clear diurnal pattern of abundance during both of the days used for data …
The 25-mile trip from Anacortes to Friday Harbor is not for the faint of heart. The route crosses the Rosario Strait, follows the southern edge of Lopez Island, and goes through Cattle Pass, an area notorious for swift currents and tidal rips. The trip should be planned around the tides, with an ebb when crossing Rosario Strait and a flood by the time you reach Cattle Pass. Since passengers ...
The club's classic challenging run, a 22nm run from Washington Park to Friday Harbor, with a free ride back on the ferry. So classic it shows up on the list for two Sea Kayaking award badges. We will ride the morning ebb across the Rosario strait, around the south end of Lopez island, then catch a 4kt flood in Cattle pass on the way north to Friday Harbor.
Published and unpublished reports suggest that seabird numbers have decreased markedly in the Salish Sea over the past several decades. I tested the hypothesis that seabird feeding activity in a known foraging location decreased in 2010 and 2011 in comparison to the mid-1990s, and that this decrease was associated with a concomitant decrease in the abundance of small, pelagic …
throughout the season. Steller sea lion haulout patterns were also examined at Cattle Pass, Washington, and found to have a correlation with current speed. Introduction The harbor seal and steller sea lion are the two species of pinnipeds most common in the San Juan Channel. Harbor seals are smaller (150-170 lbs, 1.2-2m), dark to light

Cattle Point NRCA Cattle Point Natural Resources Conservation Area (NRCA) consists of two waterfront parcels at the south end of San Juan Island. At only 112 acres, the NRCA provides a diverse range of geologic features, plant communities and wildlife habitat. The largest portion of the NRCA extends across the tip of the island from the Strait of Juan de Fuca, over the Mount

Rocks constrict the pass on both sides, and when there is a southerly or westerly wind blowing in the Straits of Juan de Fuca, it is an area to avoid. Time your entrance into Cattle Pass for slack before the flood tide if possible. Swinomish Channel: The Swinomish Channel is a navigation challenge in the best conditions.
