3624 - Cape Cook to Cape Scott Nautical Chart

The North-West Sentinel: 3624 - Cape Cook to Cape Scott

Navigate the most formidable headlands of the Pacific Northwest with the professional authority of the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS). Chart 3624 is the definitive 1:90,000 scale "road map" for mariners, providing the high-resolution data required for safe passage between Cape Cook and the legendary Cape Scott.

Precision for Critical Headlands and Pacific Transitions

The stretch between the Brooks Peninsula and Cape Scott is where open Pacific swells meet complex coastal currents. CHS Chart 3624 provides the "ground-truth" data required for safe pilotage in this high-consequence environment:

• The Cape Scott Crossing: Features the detailed bathymetry necessary to navigate the turbulent waters where the West Coast meets the Queen Charlotte Strait, identifying safe leads around the Scott Islands.

• Brooks Peninsula Detail: Provides high-resolution mapping for the northern side of the Brooks Peninsula, an area essential for mariners timing their transit past Cape Cook.

• Remote Anchorage Access: Detailed data for seeking refuge in Sea Otter Cove or exploring the scenic but exposed San Josef Bay, identifying the underwater hazards that smaller-scale charts miss.

• Navigation & Hazard Identification: Explicitly marks submerged rocks, shoals, and seafloor characteristics (rocky benches, sand, or mud) to ensure situational awareness in one of the most weather-beaten corridors on the coast.
