Possession Sound · Marine Area 8-2
14-day outlook · Port of Everett Marina · 47°59′N 122°13′W
Wind never crosses your 10-knot line anywhere in the fortnight — the windiest hour in the whole run is 10.0 kt. But wind is not what rules the red days out: at that speed the chop is already past your 1-foot seas limit, so 5 days are out on sea state, not wind — Mon the 14, Tue the 15, Wed the 16 and 2 more.
Sunday Sep 20 is the pick: peak wind 5.6 kt, 0.00 in of rain, 65°F at the warmest, and a 8.2 ft tidal range. Tuesday the 22nd is the next best at 5.8 kt.
New rule activity since this table was verified — the WDFW feed has items that mention this water. The table below has not been updated for them; check before you go.

Your next deadline — the summer Puget Sound Dungeness crab catch record card is due by the date printed on the card, recently Oct 1. File it whether or not you caught anything. Miss it and there is a $10 penalty on your next crab endorsement. Report at fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov.
This is a convenience summary, not the regulations. Seasons move on short notice, and this table is verified by hand rather than scraped.
