Cox Point Park is a public boat ramp in Baltimore County, Maryland, on Back River. From here SeaStatus scores 5 waters: Patapsco River including Baltimore Harbor, Back River, Bear Creek, Chesapeake Bay north of Pooles Island MD and Chesapeake Bay from Pooles Island to Sandy Point MD.
The main water here is Back 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 44080, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 8574680, Baltimore, Fort McHenry, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 2.5 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
