About Broad Creek

Broad Creek is a public boat ramp in Beaufort County, South Carolina, on Broad Creek. From here SeaStatus scores 3 waters: Old House Creek, Coastal waters from Edisto Beach SC to Savannah GA out 20 NM (Area 2 of 8) and Broad Creek.

The main water here is Broad Creek. Rivers are scored mostly on wind and current. Wave height is not part of the score, because a river has no real sea state; visibility and comfort make up the rest. Wind, and waves where it reports them, come from NDBC buoy 41033, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 8669338, Broad Creek, Hilton Head Island, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 1.2 mi from this ramp.
