City Park is a public boat ramp in Portsmouth city, Virginia, on West Branch Elizabeth River. From here SeaStatus scores 7 waters: Lake Kingman, Sterns Creek, Baines Creek, Drum Point Creek, James River from JRB to HRBT, Including the Elizabeth River, Lilly Creek, and 1 more.
The main water here is Western Branch Elizabeth River. 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 44072, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 8638339, Western Branch, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 0.2 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
