About East Lake Ferry

East Lake Ferry is a public boat ramp in Dare County, North Carolina, on Alligator River. From here SeaStatus scores 2 waters: Alligator River and Albemarle Sound (Area 3 of 5).

The main water here is Alligator 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. Tide predictions come from NOAA station 8652247, Manns Harbor, Croatan Sound, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 5.0 mi from this ramp.
