April Fool Point is a boat ramp in Galveston County, Texas, on Dickinson Bay. From here SeaStatus scores 5 waters: Factory Bayou, Moses Bayou, Salt Bayou, Dickinson Bayou (Segment 2 of 2) and Galveston Bay (Area 9 of 13).
The main water here is Galveston Bay (Area 9 of 13). 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 8771013, Eagle Point, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 1.4 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
