Chris Anderson (Highway 9 Bridge) is a public boat ramp in Horry County, South Carolina, on Waccamaw River. From here SeaStatus scores 2 waters: Waccamaw River (Segment 3 of 4) and Coastal waters from Little River Inlet to Murrells Inlet SC out 20 NM (Area 4 of 6).
The main water here is Waccamaw River (Segment 3 of 4). 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 41024, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 8660166, Nixon Crossroads, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 0.6 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
