Emerald Isle is a public boat ramp in Carteret County, North Carolina, on Bogue Sound (Intracoastal Waterway). From here SeaStatus scores 2 waters: S of Cape Lookout NC to Surf City NC out to 20 NM (Area 5 of 5) and Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (Segment 5 of 10).
The main water here is S of Cape Lookout NC to Surf City NC out to 20 NM (Area 5 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 TEC2837, Bogue Inlet, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 16.1 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
