Dolphin Marina and Cottages is a boat ramp in Monroe County, Florida, on Newfound Harbor Channel. From here SeaStatus scores 5 waters: Straits of Florida from west end of Seven Mile Bridge to south of Halfmoon Shoal out 20 NM (Area 3 of 5), Bayside and Gulfside from Craig Key to West End of Seven Mile Bridge (Area 1 of 6), Gulf of America from West End of Seven Mile Bridge to Halfmoon Shoal out to 5 Fathoms (Area 3 of 5), Hawk Channel from Craig Key to west end of Seven Mile Bridge out to the reef and Hawk Channel from west end of Seven Mile Bridge to Halfmoon Shoal out to the reef (Area 3 of 5).
The main water here is Gulf of America from West End of Seven Mile Bridge to Halfmoon Shoal out to 5 Fathoms (Area 3 of 5). 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. Tide predictions come from NOAA station 8724223, Little Torch Key, Pine Channel Bridge, south side, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 1.3 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
