Coopers is a public boat ramp in Northumberland County, Virginia, on Great Wicomico River. From here SeaStatus scores 7 waters: Head River Branch, Great Wicomico River (Segment 1 of 2), Rappahannock River from Urbanna to Windmill Point, Tidal Potomac from Cobb Island MD to Smith Point VA, Chesapeake Bay from Drum Point MD to Smith Point VA, Great Wicomico River (Segment 2 of 2), and 1 more.
The main water here is Chesapeake Bay from Smith Point to Windmill Point VA (Area 1 of 6). 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. Wind, and waves where it reports them, come from NDBC buoy 44042, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 8636046, Glebe Point, Great Wicomico River, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 7.2 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
