About Abbotts Pond

Abbotts Pond is a public boat ramp in Sussex County, Delaware, on Abbotts Pond. From here SeaStatus scores 3 waters: Delaware Bay waters south of East Point NJ to Slaughter Beach DE, Johnson Branch and Delaware Bay waters north of East Point NJ to Slaughter Beach DE (Area 7 of 15).

The main water here is Johnson Branch. Rivers are scored mostly on wind and current. Wave height is not part of the score, because a river has no real sea state; visibility and comfort make up the rest. Tide predictions come from NOAA station 8556198, Mispillion River entrance, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 0.5 mi from this ramp.
