About this page. Wells Passage is a navigable channel in western Prince William Sound between Culross and Chenega Islands. There is no dedicated NDBC buoy inside the passage itself — this page aggregates the closest available NOAA stations. The tide gauge is Culross Bay (NOAA CO-OPS station 9454798), approximately 0.5 nm from the passage.
Weather models. Windy provides four independent forecast models: ECMWF (European, generally highest accuracy offshore), GFS (NOAA global), ICON (German DWD), and NAM (North American, higher resolution for coastal areas). Comparing models helps identify forecast uncertainty — when they agree, confidence is higher.
