About Donald MacDonald Park

Donald MacDonald Park is a public boat ramp in Indian River County, Florida, on Sebastian River. From here SeaStatus scores 5 waters: North Prong Saint Sebastian River, South Prong Saint Sebastian River, Sebastian Inlet to Jupiter Inlet 0-20 nm (Area 1 of 4), Saint Sebastian River and Volusia-Brevard County Line to Sebastian Inlet 0-20 nm (Area 5 of 5).

The main water here is South Prong Saint Sebastian 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 41068, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 8722029, Sebastian, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 2.3 mi from this ramp.
