About Barnegat Light Municipal

Barnegat Light Municipal is a public boat ramp in Ocean County, New Jersey, on Intracoastal Waterway/Barnegat Bay. From here SeaStatus scores 4 waters: Loveladies Harbor, Barnegat Bay, Barnegat Inlet and Coastal waters from Manasquan Inlet to Little Egg Inlet NJ out 20 NM (Area 6 of 10).

The main water here is Coastal waters from Manasquan Inlet to Little Egg Inlet NJ out 20 NM (Area 6 of 10). 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 8533615, Barnegat Inlet, USCG Station, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 5.6 mi from this ramp.
