Elizabeth River Park is a public boat ramp in Chesapeake city, Virginia, on South Branch Elizabeth River. From here SeaStatus scores 9 waters: Paradise Creek, Saint Julian Creek, Scuffletown Creek, Eastern Branch Elizabeth River, Elizabeth River, Southern Branch Elizabeth River, and 3 more.
The main water here is Scuffletown Creek. 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 44072, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 8638660, Portsmouth, Naval Shipyard, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 0.2 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
