Carter's Wharf is a public boat ramp in Richmond County, Virginia, on Rappahannock River. From here SeaStatus scores 5 waters: Rappahannock River (Segment 5 of 7), Peedee Creek, Rappahannock River (Segment 4 of 7), Tidal Potomac from Cobb Island MD to Smith Point VA and Tidal Potomac from Indian Head to Cobb Island MD.
The main water here is Rappahannock River (Segment 5 of 7). 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. Tide predictions come from NOAA station 8635554, Saunders Wharf, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 9.3 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
