Amherst Veterans Park, Mile 331.73 is a public boat ramp in Erie County, New York, on Erie Canal. From here SeaStatus scores one water: Upper Niagara River and Buffalo Harbor.
The main water here is Upper Niagara River and Buffalo Harbor. 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. Wind, and waves where it reports them, come from NDBC buoy 45142, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 9063012. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 8.0 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
