About Akers

Akers is a public boat ramp in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana, on Lake Maurepas. From here SeaStatus scores 2 waters: Lake Maurepas and Lake Pontchartrain (Area 6 of 13).

The main water here is Lake Maurepas. Nearshore water is scored mostly on wind and wave height, with wave steepness and the tidal current counting too. A current running against the wind is treated as worse than either one alone. Tide predictions come from NOAA station 8761993, Tchefuncta River, Lake Pontchartrain, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 6.5 mi from this ramp.
