About Frank Pate Park

Frank Pate Park is a public boat ramp in Gulf County, Florida, on Saint Joseph Bay. From here SeaStatus scores 2 waters: Coastal Waters from Mexico Beach to Apalachicola out 20 NM (Area 2 of 6) and Coastal waters from Okaloosa-Walton County Line to Mexico Beach out 20 NM (Area 3 of 3).

The main water here is Coastal Waters from Mexico Beach to Apalachicola out 20 NM (Area 2 of 6). 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 8728958, St. Joseph Point, St. Joseph Bay, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 1.8 mi from this ramp.
