Drake Avenue (West) is a public boat ramp in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, on Bayou Segnette. From here SeaStatus scores 3 waters: Mississippi River (Segment 7 of 12), Lake Salvador and Lake Cataouatche and Lake Pontchartrain (Area 5 of 13).
The main water here is Mississippi River (Segment 7 of 12). 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. Tide predictions come from NOAA station TEC4445, Paris Road Bridge (ICWW), the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 3.9 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
