About Betterton Beach

Betterton Beach is a public boat ramp in Kent County, Maryland, on Sassafras River. From here SeaStatus scores 2 waters: Sassafras River and Chesapeake Bay north of Pooles Island MD.

The main water here is Chesapeake Bay north of Pooles Island MD. Bays are scored mostly on wind. Wave height counts for less than on open water, and comfort (temperature and chance of rain) counts for more. Wind, and waves where it reports them, come from NDBC buoy 44080, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 8573704, Sassafras River, Betterton, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 4.0 mi from this ramp.
