About Ballard Park Public Boat Ramp

Ballard Park Public Boat Ramp is a public boat ramp in Brevard County, Florida, on Indian River Lagoon - Eau Gallie River. From here SeaStatus scores 3 waters: Eau Gallie River, Elbow Creek and Volusia-Brevard County Line to Sebastian Inlet 0-20 nm (Area 4 of 5).

The main water here is Volusia-Brevard County Line to Sebastian Inlet 0-20 nm (Area 4 of 5). 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 8721804, Canova Beach, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 2.9 mi from this ramp.
