Cotton Bayou is a public boat ramp in Baldwin County, Alabama, on Gulf of Mexico. From here SeaStatus scores 7 waters: South Mobile Bay, Perdido Bay Area, Coastal waters from Pensacola FL to Pascagoula MS out 20 NM (Area 8 of 9), Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (Segment 1 of 19), Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (Segment 4 of 9), Portage Creek, and 1 more.
The main water here is Perdido Bay Area. Bays are scored mostly on wind. Wave height counts for less than on open water, and comfort (temperature and chance of rain) counts for more. Wind, and waves where it reports them, come from NDBC buoy 42012, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 8730667, Alabama Point, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 8.1 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
