Bowers Beach is a public boat ramp in Kent County, Delaware, on Murderkill River. From here SeaStatus scores 4 waters: Murderkill River, St. Jones River, Delaware Bay waters south of East Point NJ to Slaughter Beach DE and Delaware Bay waters north of East Point NJ to Slaughter Beach DE (Area 10 of 15).
The main water here is Delaware Bay waters north of East Point NJ to Slaughter Beach DE (Area 10 of 15). 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 8555388, Murderkill River entrance, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 0.0 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
